Biography

I am a native of Northeast Ohio and earned my undergraduate and graduate degrees at The University of Akron. My research, funded by the Whitaker Foundation, NSF and NIH is in orthopaedic biomechanics and bone cell mechanobiology with recent work focusing on lab-on-a-chip technologies. I have been a full-time administrator since 2017 and I currently work with administration, faculty and staff in growing our graduate degree programs and opportunities for graduate faculty and students.
