B.S.E. Biomedical Engineering · Arizona State University

M.S. Candidate · ASU–Mayo Clinic Innovations Program

I am a Biomedical Engineering graduate at Arizona State University (B.S.E., May 2026) and an incoming M.S. student in the ASU–Mayo Clinic Innovations in Medical and Patient Care Technologies program (expected Aug 2027). My work sits at the intersection of human performance research, AI-assisted diagnostics, and global health engineering.

I have conducted independent human performance studies at Exos, contributed to digital pathology AI development at CND Life Sciences, and led a cross-national senior capstone project designing low-cost wound care solutions for resource-limited settings in Grenada with the Simurgh Global Surgery Collaborative.
