MY PATH
How I became a DANCER, GLOBAL HEALTH ADVOCATE & NEURAL INTERFACE ENGINEER.
MAJOR INFLUENCES
I stayed committed to my goals, but also to unexpected ways to get there.
My path wasn’t pre-planned or pre-designed. I followed my interests and took turns without worrying about the “resume story”. But many of these twists and turns proved beneficial and shaped me into the scientist I am today.
Major Milestones
Internship at Biomedical Startup
I interned at CardioInsight, a company that develops medical devices that measure the electrical activity of the heart. This was when I got really interested in biomedical engineering.
Pivot to Neuroengineering
In graduate school, I took a left turn into neuroengineering. This felt risky as I was entering a new field with so much to learn. Ultimately, it was very rewarding.
COVID: Building a Ventilating Device
During the pandemic lockdown, I founded a non-profit called Project Prana Foundation. We designed and commercialized a low-cost medical device when there was a worldwide shortage.
