'''Research'''
I recently received a [http://www.bme.utexas.edu/news/URFawards2005.htm <font style="color:#000000">fellowship</font>] for my undergraduate research project in cell and tissue engineering, focusing on platelet-dervied growth factor (PDGF).
'''Biography'''
'''Current Status'''
I graduated high school in 2004 from [http://www.dl-digital.com/images/Scenics/Airplane/DSC_5497-WoodlandsHighSchool.jpg <font style="color:#000000"> The Woodlands</font>], TX with a drive to study [http://www.bme.utexas.edu/index.cfm <font style="color:#000000"> Biomedical Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin</font>]. 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 [http://www.engr.utexas.edu/aboutfacstaff/facbios/suggs.cfm <font style="color:#000000"> Suggs</font>] [http://openwetware.org/wiki/Suggs_Lab <font style="color:#000000"> lab</font>] in Cell and Tissue Engineering.
Biomedical engineer turned Fashion designer. I currently design, manufacture, model, photograph, market, sell, and ship [http://jennyndesign.blogspot.com handmade bags] for men and women in my studio in Pittsburgh, PA.
I then branched into other areas of biology, namely the emerging field of Synthetic Biology, when I worked with [http://openwetware.org/wiki/User:JTabor <font style="color:#000000"> Jeff Tabor</font>] in [http://openwetware.org/wiki/Ellington_Lab <font style="color:#000000"> Ellington Lab</font>], which prepared me for Summer 2005 in Cambridge, MA where I particpated in the iGEM Competition on the [http://model.mit.edu/igem/index.php?title=Main_Page <font style="color:#000000"> MIT team</font>] under [http://openwetware.org/wiki/User:Endy <font style="color:#000000"> Drew Endy</font>].
I soon developed an increasing interest in marketing and advertising after much exposure to research in universities. To try my hand in industry, I will co-op with [http://www.codondevices.com/ <font style="color:#000000"> Codon Devices, Inc.</font>] Summer 2006 through Fall 2006.
'''Degree''' Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering<br>
Track 2: Cellular and Biomolecular Engineering
Throughout this time, I was/am also teaching Yoga and Pilates at the [http://utrecsports.org/ <font style="color:#000000">on-campus gym</font>] (at UT and [http://web.mit.edu/zcenter/ <font style="color:#000000">MIT</font>]). 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. I also like to paint, doodle, sculpt ceramics, and computer graphic design. http://ras.ece.utexas.edu/images/longhorn.gif
