What excites you most about your work?<\/strong><br>I am passionate about contributing to patient health on a global scale and I am interested in the challenges of investigating the benefits and risks of medical devices and technology. Our goal is to develop safe products that can aid in life-saving treatments and interventions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. What advice would you give to current students or other alumni with similar career goals? How did your experience at UM-Flint prepare you for your career?<\/strong><br>Consider taking courses that challenge you and expose you to new ideas and perspectives. As an example, my experience as an anthropology major was eye-opening, as it introduced me to diverse perspectives from around the world and helped me discover new career opportunities, such as public health. This ultimately led me to pursue a career as a scientist in the medical device field. Now, I am doing work that makes a positive difference on a global scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-secondary-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-secondary-background-color has-background\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\"\/>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover is-light\" style=\"min-height:50px;aspect-ratio:unset;\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-white-background-color has-background-dim-100 has-background-dim\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-bootstrap-blocks-container container mb-2 mt-2\">\n\t\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Do you have news or a story you&#8217;d like to share? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-secondary-color has-primary-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSeFn-UyJWDZXIcHBO_XbXFUQQLfrzxwtELXxX9XdUPQoflm8w\/viewform\">Fill out our form: UM-Flint Alumni News and Stories<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-secondary understrap-read-more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/advancement\/alumni\/endia-crabtree\/\">Read More&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":38,"featured_media":0,"parent":162,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-180","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/advancement\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/180","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/advancement\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/advancement\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/advancement\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/38"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/advancement\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=180"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/advancement\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/180\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":253,"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/advancement\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/180\/revisions\/253"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/advancement\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/162"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/advancement\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=180"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
