Bio

Hello! I am a recent graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, where I obtained a Bachelor of Science in Engineering (Bioengineering) degree, a Master of Science in Engineering (Bioengineering) degree, and a Master of Science in Engineering (Mechanical Engineering) degree. I obtained a certificate in Integrated Product Design, minors in Engineering Entrepreneurship, Mathematics and African Studies. My bachelors and masters level concentrations are Medical Devices, and Design & Manufacturing respectively. I am particularly interested in the intersection of technical product management and product design, and look forward to working with you!

Project ideas

Project ideas are meant to help inspire student thinking about their own project. Students are in the driver seat of their research and are free to use any or none of the ideas shared by their mentors.

Rapid Prototyping- Build a Pill Box

In the United States, missed medications incur $300 billion in increased healthcare costs and result in 125,000 deaths annually. However, we can generate a solution to mitigate this problem! Over 10 sessions, we will go through concept generation, user research, rapid prototyping, and design validation.

Coding skills

MATLAB, C

Teaching experience

As the former president of the Graduate Association of Bioengineers (GABE), the President of the Mechanical Engineering Graduate Association (MEGA) and the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) at the University of Pennsylvania, I have organized and participated in mentorship programs for local middle school students in the Philadelphia area. On behalf of GABE, I created the 2 videos introducing students to genetic engineering and engineering entrepreneurship, respectively. -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58gcVdZn9C4&t=479s -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uFI8uY4xuY&t=609s
