About (request update)

I am a motivated Chemical Engineering undergraduate at Hampton University with a diverse background in academic research and clinical environments. Through hands-on experience in polymer synthesis, nanomaterials, and hydrogelation, I've developed a strong foundation in biomaterials and lab-based innovation. My internships�from studying COVID-19-related mesh complications in a clinical setting to exploring photoinitiated hydrogel systems�have deepened my interest in the intersection of engineering and medicine. With growing proficiency in analytical tools such as MATLAB and ANSYS, and a passion for research that improves human health, I aim to contribute to developing innovative medical technologies that advance patient care and biomedical applications.
