Biography
I am actively searching for research and development positions in industry and post- doctoral opportunities. I studied mechanical engineering at Oklahoma State Univerity and began my engineering career with Rupture Pin Tech- nology. After a few years, I found myself wanting to devote my career to improving the quality of people's lives. Bioengineering was the fit I was looking for and have since completed my MS in Bioengineering at the University of Pittsburgh with a concentration in rehabilitation engineering. I will complete my PhD in Bioengineering this year with a concentration in biomechanics.
