About
Sarah is originally from Atlanta, GA and received her B.S. in Biomedical Engineering from Georgia Tech (go Jackets!). She has experience with the Exoskeleton and Prosthetic Intelligent Controls (EPIC) Lab at Georgia Tech and additionally completed a co-op program with the orthopedic medical devices company Enovis Foot and Ankle, which inspired her passion for biomechanics. She joined MBL as a M.S./Ph.D. student in Fall 2024. Combined with her passion for improving women’s health, Sarah aims to leverage biomechanics to research conditions which disproportionately impact women.
Sarah loves the outdoors and spending her time in the parks around Columbia, especially after spending Summer 2024 working in Montana near Yellowstone National Park. She also enjoys running/ lifting weights, cooking and trying new foods, reading a variety of books, and exploring local coffeeshops.
