"I received a bachelor's degree in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Arkansas in 2023. In the Zhang lab, I am investigating the bioenergetics of cancer cell migration and developing a contractility-based cell sorting platform. Outside the lab, I enjoy 3D modeling, 3D printing, and fishing."

I received my undergraduate in biomedical engineering from Louisiana Tech University with a minor in chemistry, and I briefly worked for the University of Arkansas at the ENRC in the Summer of 2022. I have primary interests in tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and biochemistry. Outside of academics, I enjoy obscure board games and puzzles (primarily puzzle cubes).

"I am a sophomore majoring in Biomedical Engineering on the pre-med track. I look forward to shadowing our PhD students to learn more about the metabolism and metastasis of cancer cells, so I can adequately prepare for a career as a physician. When not learning in the lab or studying for my classes, you can find me at hot yoga classes, painting pottery, or playing with my two Spaniels, Finn and Theo."
