FinalistBio
I'm an incoming student at UNC Chapel Hill with a Biomedical Engineering Intent and an Accelerated Research scholar. I am a first-generation student balancing academic rigour with a 20+ hour workweek and family caregiving. I am driven by the intersection of hardware devices and clinical impact. My goal is to develop high-performance, mass-scalable medical hardware.
