Education

Currently pursuing a B.S. in Cellular & Molecular Biology at Appalachian State University. Previously studied nursing at Rasmussen University before transferring to focus on the deeper science behind human health.

HealthZena

Founded HealthZena in 2025 while in nursing school. What started as a solo project has grown into a developing wearable system built around two connected watches designed to help keep patients and families connected after discharge.

Role

As a solo founder, I oversee operations across hardware prototyping, embedded systems, software development, product design, and business strategy. The system is being built from the ground up as an independent project.

Website Redesign & Watch Startup Screen

Redesigned the HealthZena website layout and overall presentation, while also developing a startup screen for the HealthZena watch. The startup screen gives the wearable a defined boot experience and begins turning the hardware prototype into a more complete branded device experience.
