My future goals:

Since my time in college, I have gained a great appreciation for science, so I aspire to continue my studies by pursuing a post doctorate degree in Biochemistry. With a PhD, I plan to pursue a research career in environmental sciences.

Where did my interest in science originate?

Throughout my secondary years of education, I had a bad introduction to science and initially hated it. Rather than letting that deter me away from the field, I entered college with a conviction that I would change future students’ experiences.

My Current Projects:

I’m working with Dr. Chayan Dutta at Georgia State University, where I conducted research on supported lipid bilayers and nanoplastics with the goal of comprehending the influence of nanoplastics on biological systems using single molecule microscopy. More updates coming soon!
