Education:
North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC Graduated: May 2017
B.S., Biomedical Engineering
Cumulative GPA: 3.5
Dean’s List: 2012 - 2017
Work Experience:
North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC August 2016 – May 2017
Teaching Assistant
• In the Fall 2017 semester, I helped teach an Introduction to Matlab course and in the
Spring 2017 semester I helped teach an introductory Biomedical Measurements class.
• During both semesters, I gained valuable lessons in leadership and responsibility by helping the instructors when needed and being available for students to ask questions, etc.
Wake Forest University, Winston Salem, NC June 2015 – August 2015
Research Associate
• Observed and studied different types of cancer as well as their corresponding treatment options at the Comprehensive Cancer Center.
• Conducted research on radiation’s biological effect on the layers of skin and how to improve the treatment options.
• Joined a professional research team to better understand how successful different healing options were on porcine skin following radiation exposure.
Engineering Design Projects:
• Developed and patented an automated CSF (Cerebrospinal fluid) drainage system in Senior Design. The goal of the design was to save nurses the time of adjusting drainage levels during EVD (or External Ventricular Drain) procedures.
• Designed an object on Solidworks that was 3D printed. This object underwent a three-point bend test and was successfully able to withstand a force of 150 Newtons.
• Performed a hypothesis test to determine the statistical effect both temperature and width have on rubber band launching distance. Performed ANOVA testing through Matlab to determine any statistical significance for the data obtained.
Skills:
• Programming with Matlab & Python
• Computer aided design with Solidworks
• 3D Printing
• Research
• Proficient with Microsoft Office applications
• Leadership gained from my Teaching Assistant experience
• People oriented
