About Me
I am a PhD candidate at Tufts University. I graduated from Worcester Polytechnic Institute with a bachelor's degree Biomedical Engineering and a concentration in Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering. My PhD research is focused on delivering therapeutics such as chemotherapy, antibiotics, contraceptives, and nutrients via natural biopolymer-based delivery systems, particularly microparticles and nanoparticles, for various applications in local and systemic delivery. In my free time, I love to hang out with my rabbit, hike, learn how to play different instruments, and binge watch the newest Netflix true crime series!
