Leads the planning and implementation of professional development, academic excellence, NSBE Jr., and community service programming that occurs multiple times a week for over 100 black engineers at the University of Michigan chapter.

Aids the Pzone Committee in improving members professionally and academically while also increasing the chapter’s impact on the surrounding community through community service events and pre-college initiatives.

As event coordinator, I plan and execute events to build community amongst Caribbean students at the University of Michigan and increase awareness of the culture.

Project MESA's mission is to design an affordable and portable gynecological table to reduce cervical cancer mortality in low resource communities around the world.

Process Development Intern in Interventional Cardiology Therapies (ICTx) working on Piezoelectric Transducer Tuning for a High-Frequency Coronary Imaging Catheter and a side project in Tissue Characterization for a Transcatheter Heart Valve. I modeled a transducer’s performance using a new software tool, PiezoCAD, to reduce the high costs and long lead times associated with prototyping high-frequency transducers. Through data and software analysis, I determined the appropriate applications of PiezoCAD for future use at BSC. Throughout my internship, I learned the components and manufacturing processes of transducers. As well as performed industry-standard testing of a 60 MHz composite transducer.As a side project that I took on during my internship, I characterized tensile properties of tissue by performing destructive testing on an Instron. The goal was to understand the impact of altering factors, like time and the solution itself, on the decellularization process.Another important part of my summer was BRIDGE(Developing Black Leaders) ERG where I contributed to planning and executing events within 2 subcommittees.

While working in an active neuroscience lab, I trained neural networks to track the patterns in the fine structure of animal motions collected from mouse videos with the goal of understanding mouse brain dynamics in relation to its behavior. Further, I taught neural networks to track infants’ emotions collected from various sets of videos with the goal of analyzing infants’ emotions in controlled, naturalistic settings.I also analyzed and tested different software, such as face map and lightning pose, on characteristics like their usability and the quality of data they collected to help determine which AI model works best for the different types of data.

For the summers of 2021 and 2022, I assisted the teacher in a classroom of 20+ K-2nd students with lesson plans and assessment of individual student’s learning track. I also taught lessons and performed classroom management for a total of 15 hours a week. The majority of the students in this summer programming were students that struggled during the school year. In addition, I designed unique robotics curriculum that targeted the learning level of the students and shared my passion for science and robotics.
