About

I am a junior majoring in Health & Kinesiology – Exercise Science at The University of Texas at Austin, where I maintain a 4.0 GPA and am a member of the UT Honors Society. My academic and professional interests center on airway health, human performance, and the integration of medical technology with patient care. After overcoming severe dysautonomia and sleep apnea through custom double jaw surgery, I became a national advocate for airway-centered healthcare, reaching millions through educational content and podcast appearances. I have assisted with VO₂ max research, serve as a Disability Services Notetaker, and am preparing to shadow an oral and maxillofacial surgeon in summer 2026. I plan to pursue a career in orthognathic surgery, functional medicine, or medical device innovation, where I can help bridge science, technology, and patient outcomes.
