Education
"I am an engineer. I will figure it out.” This is the mantra I repeat to our students as they encounter new techniques and need to solve difficult problems. Working globally in the engineering profession for nearly twenty years as a military technician, then an electrical engineer, then as the bioinstrumentation lab instructor here at Clemson, I have the greatest respect for my profession and work every day to bring the enthusiasm and expertise the field deserves. Our work, especially that of Bioengineers, will affect the lives of others in some way and we must always respect that fact. I am very fortunate to be able to spend my days tinkering with students and digging into the latest in new instrumentation technology. Working with students has led me to focus my continuing education efforts in developing new device technology for low resource areas globally. My PhD research is focused on reworking the benchtop urinalysis test for rural communities in order to provide a more accessible, pre diagnostic check, for early stage chronic kidney disease. #ToPeeOrNotToPee. When not training the next class of baby engineers, you may find this cranky, achy, disabled veteran hanging out with her two dogs and cat, Frank, Carl, and Gus or trying to be awkwardly social with the awesome folks in the Clemson Pride Society at a Lady Tiger Basketball game or lifting all the weights in Fike. Feel free to contact me.
