I am a passionate and driven engineering student with extensive research experience across biomaterials, additive manufacturing, and international research projects. As an NSF Scholar, I have demonstrated perseverance and academic excellence while balancing the responsibilities of being a full-time student and single mother. My leadership as SHPE chapter president, where I connected students with engineering professionals and career opportunities, reflects my commitment to fostering collaboration and growth within the STEM community. I aim to continue making meaningful contributions through innovation and research as I pursue further education and professional opportunities.
