Currently looking for entry-level roles in cutting-edge pharmaceutical process development or biological materials companies to start in January 2025 after I finish my master's degree. I am finishing an internship at Bristol Myers Squibb in December where I have practiced skills in process development such as writing SOP's and other formal reports and designing and executing studies. I am in my final quarter at the University of Washington in the Masters of Material Science and Engineering program. During my graduate degree, I have been conducting research in Dr. Eleftheria Roumeli's research group to complete my graduate research project. Dr. Roumeli's research group focuses on engineering sustainable high-performance polymer nanocomposite materials with similar mechanical performance to petroleum-derived commodity plastics. My project in the group is focused optimizing 3D printing conditions of hydrogels containing lab-grown bacterial cellulose and other sustainable biopolymers. I have a Bachelor of Science in Biological Engineering from the University of Florida where I also obtained a minor in biomolecular engineering. In the year I took between my undergraduate and master's degree, I served as a HungerCorps volunteer with United Way of King County and the YMCA of Greater Seattle. My AmeriCorps term brought me skills and perspective in classroom management and youth development that I will use in my career and service I engage in in the future.During my undergraduate studies, I conducted undergraduate research in Dr. Jennifer Nichols Musculoskeletal Biomechanics Lab for 3 years. My project involved using motion capture to compare different marker sets abilities and using over a hundred batch-process OpenSim Inverse Kinematics simulations to study thumb kinematics. During the summer of 2021, I had the privilege in working with Dr. Yee Chiew from Rutgers University's department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering through the NSF sponsored REU in Advanced Materials where I was able to successfully simulate the adsorption of aromatic compounds such as benzene using RASPA GCMC simulations. Both of these research experiences have made me proficient in computational research and programming, scientific writing, and project management which I am looking forward to applying to industry. In my free time, I enjoy spending time outdoors, traveling and connecting with people from different backgrounds. I am passionate about the engineering of biological materials and look forward to contributing to the betterment of society for all beings.
