I apply engineering precision to biological complexity.

My journey didn’t start in a biology lab—it began in Mechanical Engineering. This unconventional path gave me a distinct advantage: the ability to approach tissue engineering, biomaterials, and cell culture with an engineer’s mindset for optimization, scalability, and problem-solving.

Today, as a Scientist at Cytiva, I specialize in Cell Culture Media Development. Grounded in my Bioengineering Ph.D. research at the University of Notre Dame, my work bridges the gap between living systems and synthetic solutions, with a deep focus on stem cell differentiation, biomaterials and complex in vitro modeling.

I firmly believe that where there is a will to achieve, capabilities expand. I thrive in environments that require continuous learning, multidisciplinary collaboration, and out-of-the-box thinking.

𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 & 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁:

• 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝘁 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲: Developed BioBench, a custom web application built to streamline and automate complex cell culture calculations, saving researchers valuable time and reducing errors.

• 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘆 & 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵: Hold 2 patents (plus 2 pending) and authored 8 published peer-reviewed papers (with 5 additional manuscripts in progress), driving the conversation forward in biomaterials.

• 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲: Proven success in leading coordinated projects, grant proposal development, and utilizing diverse methodologies (complex cell cultures, microscopy, qRT-PCR).

Beyond the lab, you can usually find me behind a camera lens shooting landscape photography, exploring nature escapes, or trying out new recipes.
