I received my Bachelors of Science in Biomedical Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis. I am currently pursuing an MS degree in Public Health Microbiology and Emerging Infectious Diseases at GW. My previous work experience was that I worked in a microbiology lab at WashU. Additionally, I worked at the Center for Research Innovation in Biotechnology at Washington University where I helped to aggregate and analyze information about FDA-approved medicines enabled by academic organizations.
