I am a Senior Scientist in Vaccine Drug Product Development at Merck, with training in biomaterials, drug delivery, and formulation science.
I earned my Ph.D. in Materials Chemistry from Georgia Institute of Technology, where my research focused on the design of programmably degradable hydrogel platforms for the controlled release of biomolecules. This work also contributed to the formation of an academic spin-out focused on long-acting biologic delivery. I hold dual B.S. degrees in Chemical Engineering and Biochemistry from Virginia Tech, graduating summa cum laude.
My professional interests lie at the intersection of biomaterials, drug delivery, and pharmaceutical formulation, with a strong focus on translating innovative science into robust, scalable therapeutic solutions.
