Description of Research: Using motion capture and biomechanical gait analysis to determine the effects of ankle-foot-orthoses (AFOs) on impaired individuals with post-traumatic-osteoarthritis or neurodegenerative disorders. The goal of this research is to better understand how AFOs and other factors can better improve an individual’s gait, quality of life, and pain. I enjoy getting to work with patients directly through data collections and the direct translation that this has to clinical practice and medical professionals.

What I enjoy outside of research: Playing pickleball, volunteering at Ronald McDonald House Charities, playing various intramurals, and going on walks.
