Research Experience:
2006 – 2008Campbell University department of Biology: Cellular biology research: I worked with the skeletal myoblast cell line (C2C12) to establish standardized conditions that either promote spontaneously contracting myotubes or support formation of myotubes that do not contract in culture. I evaluated several parameters including serum type and concentration, and how they affected the development of these myoblast cells.
2010While on a service trip to Tanzania, I worked with the local health officials to collect census and health determinate data from a transient fishing village on the coast of Lake Victoria.
2012 – 2013East Carolina Heart Institute department of Vascular Surgery: I worked for this department collecting data for a retrospective study of abdominal aortic aneurism patients, with the intended purpose of identifying risk factors that can predispose a patient with this condition to poor surgical outcomes. Later analysis of this data collection ultimately resulted in several publications in the Journal of Vascular Surgery and a podium presentation at the Southern Association of Vascular Surgeons annual meeting; I was not listed as an author on these studies, as only the resident and attending members of the team were listed.

Service Learning Trip to Tanzania
One month long medical trip to Tanzania with Campbell University (May – June 2010)
We assisted Tanzanian physicians primarily with high-risk obstetric patients and pediatric preventative medicine. We worked at a clinic that serves HIV positive women to ensure that they get the proper preventative anti-viral medications, in order to minimize risk of vertical infection. The area that we were working in had endemic schistosomiasis, so we treated all of the local children in hopes of eventually decreasing the carrier population. Also, we worked with the staff of a newly forming Tanzanian hospital to organize shipping containers of medical supplies that were sent from the U.S. In addition to the medical work, I assisted the staff of the City of Hope, a Tanzanian orphanage, with building new benches and tables for their children’s classrooms. Also, we helped to dig a new silage pit, so that the orphanage could keep cows to provide the children with a steady supply of milk, in order to improve the amount of calcium in their diet.
