I earned a B.S. in physics from the University of New Orleans in spring of 2005 and entered the Medical Physics program in the fall of that year. My main research interest is using magnetic resonance imaging to detect breast cancer in its earliest stages, when the prognosis is best. I am currently involved in projects that utilize high spectral and spatial resolution (HiSS) imaging and dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI).
