<strong>Research: </strong>Angie is a BME junior aspiring to become an Obstetrician/ Gynecologist. Her primary academic goal is to take the MD-PhD route to medicine as it would nurture her desire to treat patients in a clinical setting without having to renounce her zeal for scientific research. Serving in the Medical Photonics Laboratory as a contributing author to an expansive research paper compiling, detailing, and archiving various polarization phantoms has been the inaugurating element of her research involvement thus far. Conjunctively, she is a proud PATHS-UP scholar, as well as the co-founder and volunteer coordinator of an organization called Minority Women Interested in Medicine whose ambition is to empower, encourage and inspire future female health care professionals to unsparingly give back to our community.

<strong>Mentor: </strong>Dr. Jessica Ramella-Roman
