I am an undergraduate student at Princeton Univeristy's Molecular Biology Department. My current focus is on making protein biomanufacturing and downstream purification more scalable to enable the efficient production of a wider range of materials. In general, nature is a genius mechanical engineer and I am fascinated with harnessing the complex but elegant mechanisms of the cell to create more sustainable manufacturing methods. In my free time, I volunteer at the local fire department, play country rock music with my band, and love to travel across mountain ranges.
