About
After enlisting in Dr. Steven Jones’ lab in Winter ‘05, I began research in Platelet Adhesion/Thrombus Formation as influenced by L-Arginine, DPTA NONOate, ADP and shear stress. In addition to research, my hospital background allowed me to spearhead an internship collaboration between Louisiana Tech and Glenwood, with the hope that others gain a crucial experience component to their resume.
While serving as BMES Vice-President, this experience enabled me to inform other Biomedical students of Tech’s opportunities. Also, I have instructed BIEN 310-Clinical Engineering and ENGR 120-Intro into Engineering courses. Coupled with an NSF GK-12 Teaching Fellowship, these opportunities have provided me teaching experiences from all levels of education.
I recently served as the LA-SiGMA External Engagement and Assessment Coordinator, Student Success Specialist and Adjunct Faculty. I am currently a Visiting Assistant Professor at Louisiana Tech. My research interests include collaboration with cancer metastasis and biofluid mechanics experts for an in depth investigation of platelets adhered to tumor cells leading to further metastasis and colonization. My near-future goal is to become an assistant professor with emphasis in platelet adhesion studies, engineering education and biofluid mechanics.
