I enable innovation and solve problems using my passion to serve. · Christiansburg, Virginia, United States
I'm on a journey to grow, and serve others along the way. My educational background in microbiology has been a stepping-off point, enabling me to identify systems at play and assess their interactions. I enjoy investigating areas for improvement within the systems around me and am always looking to learn. Being a "Jack-of-a-few-trades" is what I enjoy doing — leveraging my personal and professional experiences to make the biggest impact.
