Innovation Analyst

• Feb 2022 - Present

Lab Manager

• Oct 2020 - Dec 2021

Research Assistant

• Oct 2019 - Oct 2020

In this role, I learned the ins and outs of clinical research. I used Matlab to perform data analysis and create scientific visualizations, and even presented them to peers of non technical or clinical backgrounds. I worked one on one with a medical student and a neurologist to teach fundamentals of programming, and offered learning materials and guidance to lab members on their coding projects. While I was able to offer my engineering expertise to my peers, they taught me a lot about the clinical, biological and scientific aspects of the research process. Show less

Leader of Capstone Design Group Project

• Aug 2019 - May 2020

I led a team of five of my peers to develop a patient transfer device. I scheduled meetings with a Physical Therapist, Nurse and medical student where I met both individually and with the rest of my group to discuss clinical needs and receive feedback on iterations of the design. We worked together to develop a concept and create a minimum viable product through both a CAD simulation and a built prototype made with materials from Home Depot, online vendors and household items. Finally, at the end of the year I gave a presentation that included a business proposal to a class of 60 of my peers on behalf of my group. Show less

Biodesign Intern

• Aug 2018 - Jul 2019

I shadowed medical practitioners for 25+ hours in operating room (O.R.) , emergency room (E.R.) and outpatient clinical settings, where I was able to gain a familiarity with the workflow and comfort in these environments. Through communication with physicians, as well as my own observations, I helped identify clinical needs and possible shortcomings in technology. Through lessons with a patent lawyer in the field, I learned about selecting a problem, conducting a market analysis and gaining intellectual property through a patent. At the end of the program, I gave a presentation proposing a project which I would then carry into my senior year capstone course. Show less

Research Assistant

• Sep 2018 - May 2019

I worked to prototype a portable electrocardiogram (ECG), a type of health rate monitor, with two partners. In a learn as we go project, I was able to explore tools such as LabVIEW for FPGA and Autodesk Eagle for PCB design. The project helped me gain a fundamental understanding of electronics and data acquisition. I worked to prototype a portable electrocardiogram (ECG), a type of health rate monitor, with two partners.

Engineering Internship

• Jan 2019 - Jan 2019

In this winter internship, I had the opportunity to use tools such as structure scanners, mesh repair and 3D modeling software and how they can be used to work with irregular anatomy to provide products that are customized to patients. I explored a niche software program with a partner and gave a tutorial presentation to a staff of five, and I was able to help troubleshoot a 3D printer. Through this experience I was exposed to a corporate environment, witnessed how different departments collaborate with one another and observed how everyone worked to constantly improve the way they did things.

Library Clerk

• Jul 2016 - Sep 2018

Working at a busy front desk, I was able to practice multitasking, conflict resolution and customer service in a professional work environment, where I helped serve as the face of the library. At a service desk, I helped patrons complete tasks on the computer, and I assisted Spanish speaking patrons.For part of my stay in this position, I worked in the technical processing department where I managed inventory and database cleaning.

Library Page

• Jan 2015 - Jul 2016

I maintained a 17 hour/week working schedule while still in high school. In this support staff position, I shelved and retrieved books, assisted patrons using the copy machine and performed daily tasks at the request of the staff.
