As an avid rock climber, ultramarathoner, mountain biker, and skier, I am always searching for challenges to push myself and grow. At Utah State University, I created the Commercialization Division in Technology Transfer Services, bridging the gap between research and real-world application. My work combines strategic business insight with technical fluency to cultivate partnerships between industry and academia. I lead marketing initiatives to promote USU technologies—including creating videos, LinkedIn content, newsletters, and press releases. Additionally, I initiate outreach campaigns for licensing agreements and connect USU start-up companies with business advisors. I collaborate closely with researchers across various fields, such as mechanical engineering, software, outdoor products, chemistry, and life sciences, supporting the university’s mission to translate discovery into impact. <br> In parallel, I am pursuing a PhD in Biochemistry, with my research focusing on Electrochemistry. My research focuses on monitoring electron transfer in light-driven nitrogen fixation using biohybrid systems and exploring electrochemical nitrate reduction to ammonia using metal sulfides. This interdisciplinary work merges biochemistry and electrochemistry to provide the foundational knowledge needed to develop better catalysts for ammonia production.
