I’m a PhD student in the College of Pharmacy at The Ohio State University. I earned my Bachelors degree in Biotechnology from the California State Polytechnic University. I then completed a Masters in Pharmaceutical Sciences from Western University of Health Sciences in 2018. During my Masters program I studied targeted nanoparticle delivery of therapeutics for pancreatic cancer. I joined the Englert Lab in 2019 and my research focuses on nanoparticle drug delivery to prevent and treat ventilator-induced lung injury in patients with ARDS. I recently successfully defended my doctoral dissertation and am planning to pursue a career in the pharmaceutical industry.
