Breanne Przestrzelski is a graduate student at Clemson University where she is pursuing her PhD degree. Breanne will be a "Triple Grad" from the Clemson University Bioengineering Program, obtaining her B.S. in May 2012 (research focus: nanomedicine technology), her M.S. degree in August 2012 2013 (research focus: glenoid loading and stability of the inlay verus onlay shoulder system), and God willing, her Ph.D. in May 2016 (research focus: innovation and design in sports biomedical engineering).
Breanne was a four year varsity collegiate athlete, rowing for the Clemson Unviersity Women's Rowing Team, where she learned how to foster her team-centered leadership. Breanne moved on to leading her Senior Design Capstone Team to a 1st Place finish in the 2012 NCIIA BMEStart Undergraduate Design Competition for the team's innovation: Assurefit- a chest tube stabilization device. Breanne found her drive for innovation and fascination with design during the development of this technology, and since has become co-director of a high-school design program.
Breanne is looking forward to continuing to spread her passion for innovation and design as a new University Innovation Fellow.
