Postdoctoral scientist in Dr. Onohara’s laboratory at Nationwide Children’s Hospital and clinically trained cardiovascular surgeon with over ten years of experience in valvular heart disease and heart failure. My research focuses on translational cardiovascular device development for advanced ischemic heart failure and functional mitral regurgitation, with particular emphasis on minimally invasive ventricular reshaping therapy. I have hands-on experience in large-animal cardiovascular surgery, chronic swine models of ischemic cardiomyopathy, transapical device implantation, echocardiographic assessment, invasive pressure-volume loop analysis, and tissue-level evaluation of myocardial remodeling. Since joining Dr. Onohara’s laboratory in 2024, I have dedicated my work to developing and evaluating a left ventricular reshaping device in a six-month post-infarction swine model of advanced heart failure. My long-term goal is to become an independent physician-scientist, integrating clinical cardiovascular surgery with translational research to develop less invasive and more effective therapies for valvular disease and heart failure.

Security professional with 7+ years of experience in investigations, risk analysis, and operational security across corporate and military environments. U.S. Army veteran with active Secret Clearance and current experience in a Global Security Operations Center (GSOC) while finishing a Master of Public Administration in Disaster Management. Proven ability to conduct investigations, analyze incidents, and support loss prevention strategies. Strong background in security operations, incident response, intelligence assessment and analysis, and cross-functional coordination to mitigate risk and protect assets.

Professional military candidate with track record of success in high-stakes environments. Skilled in tactical operations, strategic planning, and leadership. Strong focus on team collaboration and mission accomplishment. Reliable and adaptable, with expertise in weapons handling, physical fitness, and situational awareness.
Organized and detail-oriented Investigator dedicated to improving efficiency, productivity and profitability through continuous process improvement. Analytical thinker skilled at developing innovative solutions to complex problems.

Highly motivated Ph.D. candidate with 6+ years of academic research experience in Biochemistry, Cellular and Molecular Biology, specializing in Developmental and Cellular Neuroscience. Expertise in employing cutting-edge genomic technologies (single-cell RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, Spatial Transcriptomics) to investigate diverse tissue/cellular micro-environments to understand complex cellular processes such as fate determination, state transitions, and intercellular interactions.

With expertise in both dry lab and wet lab techniques, I possess a comprehensive skill set in biotechnology and bioinformatics. In the dry lab, I am proficient in bioinformatics, population genetics, multi-omics data analysis (Exome, transcriptome, methylome), spatial transcriptomics, single-cell multi-omics, Xenium in-situ, and scripting languages such as R and bash script. In the wet lab, I am adept in molecular biology techniques, cell line culture, parasite culture, animal handling, and NGS library preparation. My diverse skill set enables me to contribute effectively to research projects, spanning from computational analysis to experimental work, ensuring a holistic approach to scientific investigation.
