A little about me
A scientific foundation. A human perspective.
I’m interested in what happens when scientific curiosity meets a practical need—and people come together to explore it.
My work brings together biotechnology, collaborative leadership, and service. Alongside science, my education in theology and Christian counselling shapes the perspective I bring to people, learning, and responsibility.
From an interdisciplinary formulation project to helping a college reach learners online, my work reflects a willingness to learn across disciplines and contribute to a shared effort.

My approachLeadership begins with listening.
Representing my classmates
As a class representative, I helped communicate classmates' concerns to academic staff. The role asked me to listen, stay organized, and represent others fairly.
Collaborating and delegating
My approach to team leadership includes collaborating with teammates and delegating work across a project. I see that responsibility as helping a shared effort move forward while recognizing what each person contributes.
Bringing people around an idea
In digital projects, I have worked with software collaborators, college staff, and fellow entrepreneurs. My contribution has centered on coordination, communication, product questions, and service.
