Recent neat stuff
in-Training
Design consultant
2015

I was asked by the founders to provide input and feedback on the design of in-Training: Stories from Tomorrow�s Physicians, a print publication that will contain 100+ select pieces published by the magazine since its founding in 2012.
Aggies Invent
College Station, Texas
November 2015
Aggies Invent is a 48-hour-long event hosted by Texas A&M University's Engineering Innovation Center in which engineering, medical, business, and other students develop solutions to given problems. The theme of my weekend was pediatric medicine.
I was part of an excellent team of engineering and medical students; together, we developed a portable diagnostic kit for health care providers in resource-starved settings. Our product, the PediaPod, combined a stethoscope, electrocardiogram, and pulse oximeter into a small, durable, aesthetically-pleasing prototype. For more information on the weekend, please read the official press.
3 Day Startup
Austin, Texas
April 2015
3 Day Startup is an intensive, weekend-long event in which students develop an idea through ethnographic research and stages of rapid prototyping, then pitch their product to a panel of judges (entrepreneurs and innovators themselves).
After pitching my initial idea, I was able to recruit a talented team; together, we shifted goals and developed an idea for a web-interface that connects high schoolers interested in performing community service with organizations that need help.
Recent employment
Camp Sweeney
Gainesville, Texas
May 2014 � present
Camp Sweeney is a camp for children with diabetes. About 200+ campers attend each of the three 3-week-long sessions each summer. As a member of the Senior Medical Staff, I oversaw a junior staff of 13 rising-2nd-year medical students, including crafting schedules and delegating responsibilities. I served as first call on all medical emergencies, organizing our response and communicating with the attending physician. I also served as a link between the program staff and medical staff, facilitating clear communication between counselors, associates, and medical staff at daily meetings.
As a member of the Medical Staff, I also communicated with parents, coordinated off-site care, monitored blood glucose readings, dosed insulin, managed medications, attended to campers at the daily illness and injury clinic, presented lectures about diabetes tailored to age groups, and responded to daily and emergency medical needs.
summer 2005 � summer 2008
I was responsible for daily and emergency diabetic care and instruction of campers. I organized and managed daily activities, implemented the camp's program, and led the oldest boy's cabin. I also taught courses in art, fishing, silkscreen, video broadcasting, and web publishing.
