“Growing up, I always knew I had an interest in math and science along with the medical field. This led me towards pursuing a degree in Materials Science and Engineering, interning for two summers at Smiths Medical, and becoming a full-time Toxicology Engineer after college. During my internship and full-time career, I have found that I am passionate about the medical device industry because I enjoy working in an innovative field that directly affects human lives by producing life-improving technologies. In my current role as a Toxicology Engineer, I work daily to evaluate the biocompatibility of materials for use in our medical devices in order to reduce toxicological risk and support patient safety.”
