Biography

I am a native of South Africa, but was raised in Canada and the United States. My interests in biology, chemistry, and engineering led me to the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, where I earned a bachelor of science in Chemical Engineering with a focus on Biochemical Engineering. Since completing the MPhil in Advanced Chemical Engineering at Cambridge, I have continued my education at the Yale University School of Medicine where I am pursuing an MD/PhD in the Medical Scientist Training Program. I hope to translate my medical training into a research career that applies my engineering skills to clinically relevant problems.
