Hello!


I am a senior doctoral candidate at The University of Texas at Austin in the Department of Biomedical Engineering. My dissertation research focuses on the fracture mechanics of venous blood clots. Alongside my degree, I am completing a Certificate in Engineering Education and completed my Teaching Practicum in Engineering Statics Spring 2022. In my spare time, I enjoy exploring Austin, TX, with my dogs and baking elaborate treats whenever I can find an excuse to celebrate.
