Through the Engineering Science program I am combining Biomedical, Sustainability, and Chemical Engineering disciplines and take a ton of classes in the Architecture and Commerce School!

I plan to continue developing my idea for reducing head trauma from epileptic falls as my 4rth year engineering thesis.
At UVA I am very involved with Rodman Council, an honors engineering student council, and recently founded the Entrepreneurship chair position. I also teach and peform with the Belly Dance Club and run my own fashion blog, [[wwwWww.damedestyle.com|Dame DeStyle]].
