I'm originally from a small secret town in Pennsylvania. After graduating high school, I was fortunate enough to join the Meyerhoff Scholarship Program at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), where I earned my B.S. in physics.

As a Bridges to the Doctorate Fellow and an AGEP student at UMBC, I recently received my M.S. in mechanical engineering. My master’s research was focused on analyzing gait patterns of cows, which involved many a smelly trip to dairy farms.

I've since upgraded and am now at the University of Utah’s Biocentric Robotics IGERT doing research on gait analysis of people with Parkinson's disease with Dr. Stacy Bamberg.
