About me

I’m passionate about innovation and changing what the future can be. In my day job, I work with some amazing healthcare providers, engineers, academics and business leaders—really interesting people with great ideas. I setup this site to explore topics interesting to me, and hopefully to some of you.

Little bit more about me

Professionally, I help people conceptualize new product ideas, give them resources to develop their technology, and spark startup opportunities. Currently, I’m Director of FastTraCS, a Medtech incubator based at UNC-Chapel Hill. Previously, I helped launch UNC’s first life sciences startup accelerator (Carolina KickStart) and was a fellow at the FDA’s National Center for Toxicological Research. I recieved my MSc. in Toxicology from UNC-Chapel Hill and BSc in Biology from UMass.
