Hi everyone! I am originally from Charlton, MA and pursuing my Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering. I have a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering with a concentration in Biomechanics from Merrimack College and love combining engineering concepts with anatomy. I've had 3 internships for a medical device company and was able to make an impact of about $4million cost savings for my projects! I have also been the President of Enable (an organization that designs and 3D prints upper limb prosthetics for children and adults.) I'm super excited to start research in the BMD iLab this Fall and expand my knowledge of engineering and the body!!
