I am a postdoctoral scholar working in CEDAR using nanofabrication techniques to develop novel devices that shape electric fields to isolate endogenous nanoparticles directly from blood. After the particles are collected, a range of spectroscopic and electrochemical analysis techniques can be utilized to identify critical biomarkers.

I received my bachelor's degree from the University of Portland in 2021, where I conducted research in organometallic synthesis and analytical chemistry. I then earned my Ph.D. in biomedical engineering from OHSU in 2025 focusing my research on biosensor design, manufacturing, and validation. I am particularly interested in creating new devices for low-cost, portable, minimally invasive biosensing applications.

Outside of the lab, I enjoy cooking, lampworking, running, and board games. I have two cats, who have both won the CEDAR cutest pet competition. I have an orange cat named Henry, and a siamese cat named Sophon ("Sophie") after the sentient proton supercomputer in the novel The Three Body Problem.
