About me

I am a Chemical Engineer with a background spanning both academic research and industrial operations. My work focuses on the intersection of Materials Science and Quality Compliance, bridging the gap between R&D innovation and regulated manufacturing.

Currently, as a Graduate Researcher at the VCU Soft Functional Materials Lab under Dr. Christina Tang, I specialize in the mechanics of soft interfaces. My research involves:

• Mechanics-consistent adhesion testing for soft materials/E-textiles.
• Preventing “false positive” adhesion metrics in stretchable systems
• Synchronizing mechanical strain with optical response in mechanochromic textiles

Previously, I served as a Technical Project Manager in the pharmaceutical industry at Kreative Organics. In this role, I led technical compliance initiatives for the engineering and quality teams by:

• Coordinating FDA Readiness protocols and SAP ERP validation (CGMP).
• Executing OQ/PQ testing to verify system data integrity and GMP compliance.
• Standardizing supply chain data workflows to accelerate stakeholder decision-making.

I am interested in roles that allow me to apply rigorous engineering principles whether characterizing new materials or optimizing production workflows to build reliable, compliant products.
