Paige is a 3rd year Biomedical Engineering Ph.D. candidate studying vascular mechanics during pregnancy. Before starting at UMN, she earned her B.S. in Biomedical Engineering at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering in Tallahassee, FL where she researched bio-microrheology at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory.  Her current research focuses on using experimental and computational tools to uncouple the mechanical and hormonal cues that drive vascular smooth muscle contractility adaptations during pregnancy at the cell level.
