Profile
Co-invented, designed, and tested a new medical device that will improve the ability to administer antibiotics more quickly and efficiently (as a medical doctor/mechanical engineer fellow in the Biodesign and Innovation Program at the University of Missouri-Columbia).
Implemented Design for Manufacturability (DFM) principles as a mechanical engineer in biodesign projects. Also implemented pre-clinical analysis of devices and design transfer. Complied with ISO 13485 development of medical devices. Used SOLIDWORKS CAD to design.
Integrated Quality Management System (QMS), Lean methodology, Advanced Manufacturing Systems, Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), CAPA, and FDA regulations into design of products for proposed medical devices. Also utilized Statistical Process Control (SPC).
Earned an Aeronautical engineering degree (derivative of mechanical engineering).
Seeking a position in medical device conceptualization, design, and testing.
Education
Doctor of Medicine, University of Missouri School of Medicine, Columbia, Missouri 2005-2011
Post-Baccalaureate Premedical Program, The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland
Premedical education, Washington University in St. Louis, St. Louis, Missouri
Master of Arts, Mathematics, Washington University in St. Louis, St. Louis, Missouri

Professional Experience
University of Missouri School of Medicine, Columbia, Missouri
Consultant, Hunter Biomedical Group July 2016-Present
Medical consultant for development of patient-centered care products. Generating concepts for
medical devices and assessing their efficacy and impact on patient health.
Biodesign and Innovation Fellow, Department of Surgery July 2015-June 2016
Used SOLIDWORKS Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) software to design a new, faster device for antibiotic delivery. Will reduce human labor effort by 30-40% and will reduce bacterial transmission to humans. Filed an invention disclosure for this device. Followed FDA and QMS regulations. Utilized DFM, QMS, and Lean methodology throughout all stages of the project.
Worked with surgeons in varied fields: cardiac surgery, neurosurgery, and orthopedic surgery.
Improved wound healing in human medicine by creating a peptide-infused vicryl mesh that will deliver antibiotics to wound sites. Conferred with key opinion leader (KOL) physicians to ensure quality.
Developed new wound dressings that will employ peptide- and vasodilator-infused nano-particles to hasten healing duration. Analysis of post-market surveillance implications.
University of Missouri School of Medicine, Columbia, Missouri
Postdoctoral Research Fellow August 2011-June 2015
Discovered previously unknown gender differences in the structure of several blood vessel types with atomic force microscopy (AFM) and deepened the understanding of these differences at the cellular level (Medical Pharmacology and Physiology Department).
Cardiovascular clinical application research: Created a fuller comprehension of the restructuring of brain blood vessels after damage (e.g. from stroke). Implemented 3D confocal microscopy to advance this study while using micro-surgery to remove and prepare vessels for analysis (Dalton Cardiovascular Research Center).
