About

I work at the intersection of research, technology, and public service. My background spans food science and technology, public administration, and interdisciplinary research support. My current work includes optical biosensor technologies, biomedical sensing applications, and research assistance in disaster resilience and community-focused policy studies. I am especially interested in building practical, research-driven solutions for healthcare diagnostics and public impact.
