Aside from spending hours in the BME lab doing research/experiments, teaching Yoga and Pilates at the gym, and learning in school, I try to find time to read chick-flick novels while on the elliptical/stationary bike at the gym, knit, and master the art of Karaoke Revolution on expert level.

Fortunately, the summer is when I find time to relax.

Major Biomedical Engineering
Track 2: Cellular and Biomolecular Engr

Classification 2nd-year undergraduate, junior-standing.

Research I recently received a fellowship for my undergraduate research project in cell and tissue engineering, focusing on platelet-dervied growth factor (PDGF).

Biography I graduated high school in 2004 from The Woodlands, TX with a drive to study Biomedical Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin. I quickly realized that the only way to dive into BME was to do undergraduate research, immediately. I began my experience in research August (the first day) of my freshman year in Suggs lab in Cell and Tissue Engineering.

I then branched into other areas of biology, namely the emerging field of Synthetic Biology, when I worked with Jeff Tabor in Ellington Lab, which prepared me for Summer 2005 in Cambridge, MA where I particpated the iGEM Competition on the MIT team under Drew Endy.

I soon developed an increasing interest in marketing and advertising after much exposure to research in the university. To try my hand in industry, I will co-op with Codon Devices, Inc. Summer 2006 through Fall 2006.

Throughout this time, I was/am also teaching Yoga and Pilates at the on-campus gym (at UT and MIT). I practice Ashtanga Yoga, and frequently participate group fitness classes such as kickboxing, dance, step, weight lifting, and water aerobics about 10-14 classes per week. http://ras.ece.utexas.edu/images/longhorn.gif


I also love barbeque. Specifically Kreuz Market bbq in Lockhart, TX.
