1 About Me 2 Interests 3 Future Goals
About Me
In 2010, I graduated from Holy Ghost Preparatory School in Cornwells Heights, PA. I am currently an undergraduate student at Duke University in Durham, NC, seeking a BSE in biomedical engineering from the Pratt School of Engineering.
Interests
Since the age of five, I have been involved in some form of auto racing. From 1998 to 2005, I raced quarter midgets, a division which served as the training ground for professional drivers like Jeff Gordon and Joey Logano, winning over 100 races, setting six time trial records, and earning a top-10 national ranking five times. I have participated at tracks in Bridgeport, NJ and Brickerville, PA in micro-sprint racing since 2006. I also play guitar, bass, and piano; my skills in all three instruments are self-taught.
Future Goals
After earning a BSE, I aim to work towards a Ph.D. in cancer cell biology in order to perform oncology research before returning to a major university as a professor in either biology or biomedical engineering.
Grand Challenges for Engineering
Among the 14 Grand Challenges for Engineering, I follow the development of better medicines most closely as it relates to my intended major. For a more in-depth look at the future of medicinal engineering as it applies to genetic diseases, please read the following article:
