Biomedical Engineering (2024)

Major and anticipated graduation date:  Biomedical Engineering Major with a
concentration in biomaterials and tissue engineering. Minor in Anthropology of Global Health
Expected graduation date: May 2024

Academic Background: Hello! I am a biomedical engineering major on the pre-med track,
minoring in the anthropology of global health. I am an out-of-state student from Rhode Island,
and I spent my first two years at UConn Stamford. I have bounced around trying to pick a minor
that combines my interests in social sciences with public health.

Research Interests: My research interests are primarily in the area of public health and how we
can apply advanced technology and methods learned in biomedical engineering in a way that is
optimal and accessible to everyone.

Professional Experience: I am currently searching for internships during the summer of 2023
and planning out what it is I want to do.

Interests/Hobbies: When I am not busy with school, I like to destress by building Lego sets,
especially the car sets and the botanical garden collection. Oh, and not to mention the random
Legos ranging from a mini tuk-tuk to parrots. I also have a deep interest in mentoring because I
believe that you not only learn best from those who have experienced it first-hand, but you can
also learn from others who are currently in the same boat.
