Meet our Clinical Research Office Interns

When I look back on my career, I want to be proud of what I have accomplished. In today’s interconnected global market, there are countless opportunities across industries to build a meaningful career. While success and financial stability are important, I believe true fulfillment comes from making a lasting impact. My goal is not just to work for a paycheck but to contribute in a way that positively affects people’s lives. To me, success is measured by the ability to say, “I was part of a team that helped others achieve something meaningful.” That is why it has been an honor to work with the University of Florida Health Cancer Institute. In this role, I am contributing to the fight against a disease that indiscriminately affects mothers, fathers, children—our closest loved ones—regardless of race, religion, politics, or profession. Cancer is a real and present threat to us all. It is a privilege to learn from and support the dedicated men and women who selflessly devote themselves to ending this disease. Their commitment inspires me, and I am proud to lend my talents to such a critical cause.

I graduated summa cum laude from the University of Florida with a major in biology and a minor in pathogenesis. Over these four years, I cultivated a strong interest in basic science research and gained diverse lab skills — from bacterial transformation to Sanger sequencing. Now a clinical research intern, I’m eager to apply this foundation in the clinical setting and explore the translational impact of oncology research. Committed to building meaningful patient relationships, I hope to carry these values into medical school and pursue a career as an academic physician-scientist. Outside of work, I enjoy beach volleyball, movie marathons with my Regal Unlimited Pass and cooking with friends.

I graduated from the College of Wooster in May 2025, where I earned a degree in biochemistry and molecular diology while playing lacrosse all four years. In addition to my work in the classroom, I have also spent time in clinical settings such as inpatient rehab facilities, orthopedic trauma floors, primary care offices and the Health Coach program, where I conducted weekly home visits to high-risk patients in Wayne County. I have a sincere passion for continuous scientific inquiry, and I am excited to apply everything I have learned in a way that will help countless people. During my time as a clinical research intern, I look forward to developing a nuanced understanding of evidence-based medicine while learning from professionals in the field. I am in the medical school application process, and I hope to bring the valuable lessons I learn at the University of Florida to provide comprehensive and compassionate care for my future patients.
