Career Goals I aspire to have a research career in either a government or military settings, developing technology to enhance detection capabilities for dangerous compounds such as explosives or illicit drugs.
Values Loyalty, honesty, and humor.
Hometown Fallston, Maryland.
Reason for Choosing UVA I chose UVA to join the Landers lab due to the application-driven nature and relevance of the research to my career goals.
