I am a student at NYU Tandon with an interest in public health and sustainability. I am currently in the BS-MS program studying Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering - BS and Biomedical Engineering - MS. I grew up in Morristown, New Jersey, but have also lived in Maryland and Oklahoma. I work as a General Engineering Teaching Assistant, participated in the Concrete Canoe Team, and am an Emergency Medical Technician. I also have joined various healthcare related labs in my time as an undergraduate. This summer I will be completing my second internship at Procter & Gamble as a Product Supply Engineer. Being able to learn from industry experts and produce name brand products has been extremely exciting. I have been able to continue pursuing interdisciplinary knowledge on technology and health in order to expand my general and applicable knowledge of those fields. When I am not participating in school activities, I can be found playing musical instruments, spending time with friends, or walking to Dunkin’ Donuts.

My GLASS project is working on oral cancer pain treatment by studying ECM rigidities' impact on nerve excitation with a focus on Schwann Cells using AFM, In Vivo Mice Models, and other methods. I am doing this work at Yi Ye Lab at NYU Dentistry.
