Education
BS, Biomedical Engineering, University of Illinois at Chicago, 2018
Research Interests
I am interested in combined quantitative and community engagement methods to investigate inequities in public education and how this translates to health outcomes. I hope to explore possible solutions in the form of curriculum innovations and classroom or health technology.

General Interests
I enjoy pretty much all outdoor activities like hiking, camping, biking, being on a boat, and if I’m indoors I like to climb and swim. I also enjoy playing music with people (violin) and listening to all kinds of music. Cooking, baking, gardening, sewing… I probably have too many interests for my own good. Working towards improving access to quality education and health care is very important to me as well and I love teaching science!
