I am currently pursuing my MS in Public Health Microbiology and Emerging Infectious Diseases from GWU's Milken Institute School of Public Health. In December of 2020, I received my undergraduate degree in Biological Sciences and a minor in Microbiology from Clemson University, where I conducted in vitro research on Clostridioides difficile for my honors in biological sciences undergraduate thesis. I also have previous research experience examining the role of biofilm formation in chronic wound healing as well as membrane chromatography research and development.
