I am a PhD Student and Graduate Research Assistant in Bioengineering department at George Mason University, specializing in cartilage tissue engineering and osteoarthritis repair. My research focuses on tidemark remodeling at the cartilage–bone interface, aiming to develop novel regenerative strategies for joint repair.

With an MSc in Nanobiotechnology and hands-on experience in advanced biomaterials, scaffolds, and regenerative medicine approaches, I bring a multidisciplinary perspective to musculoskeletal research. My long-term vision is to advance translational therapies that improve the quality of life for patients with degenerative joint diseases.
