I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh in 2011 with a B.S. in Bioinformatics. During my time at Pitt, I was a research fellow in the biology department's Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) program, a Bioinformatics and Bioengineering Summer Institute (BBSI) research fellow, and an intern with the Department of Shells and Mollusks at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. But Pitt did not just teach me to be a researcher; I also took classes at Pymatuning Laboratory of Ecology and was deeply involved in the environmental community. As the 2010-2011 president of Engineers for a Sustainable World, I led a team that built a rain garden on campus, designed sustainable apartments for a nearby town, and educated our campus and community about sustainability. In 2010, I was honored to receive the Udall national scholarship for environmental leadership. All of these experiences, and many others, have prepared me for PhD studies at Carnegie Mellon, where I am investigating the environmental impacts of nanotechnology as a NEEP IGERT fellow and ARCS scholar with the Department of Engineering and Public Policy.
