A Little More About Me

My Background

I’m a recent Vanderbilt University graduate from Lexington, Kentucky, USA. I began my undergraduate studies as a biology major on the premed track, then transferred into biomedical engineering after discovering a passion for hands-on problem-solving and design. I'm naturally curious and always enjoy exploring new places and perspectives. Outside of work, I love to hike, read mystery novels, experiment with sourdough recipes, and follow college sports.
