Physics B.S.
Virginia Tech · Blacksburg, VA

Studying at one of the country's top research universities, with coursework spanning classical mechanics, electromagnetism, quantum theory, and computational physics. Active in campus research and the startup community.

General Studies A.S.
Virginia Western Community College · Roanoke, VA

Completed foundational coursework and transferred to Virginia Tech with a strong academic record.

Undergraduate Research Assistant
Ashkar Lab · Virginia Tech · Blacksburg, VA

Simulated lipid membrane dynamics during phase transitions using computational modeling. Worked with SANS and SAXS imaging simulations to characterize soft-matter structures at the nanoscale.

Gained hands-on experience with research workflows, data interpretation, and scientific communication in an active physics lab.

Medical Physics Shadowing
LewisGale Hospital · Roanoke, VA

Worked alongside the head Medical Physicist in a clinical environment. Observed and assisted with linear accelerator (LINAC) quality assurance, patient charting protocols, and bolus fabrication workflows.

Developed an understanding of how physics principles are applied directly to patient care — one of the cleaner examples of physics actually saving lives.
