About Me

Curiosity

I've always thought of myself as a life-long learner. Not only is it exciting but also essential in this ever-evolving field.

Empathy

Understanding the needs and desires of users or clients ensure solutions are tailored to something concrete.

Collaboration

I value cross-functional communication as it integrates perspectives and drives innovative solutions.

Quick Bio

I grew up in St. Louis, Missouri, where my childhood included playing hockey and various other sports. Beyond athletics, I have a passion for creativity, finding joy in making music and capturing moments through photography. My love for learning extends to exploring new places, as I love to travel and experience various cultures and landscapes. Nature also holds a special place in my heart as I am happiest experiencing the outdoors.

I began my higher education journey in 2019 at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, specializing in biomedical engineering. However, by the end of my first year, I shifted my focus to the mechanical side of design. As an aspiring engineer, I was captivated by the process of bringing useful ideas to life through tangible products and systems. To further deepen my technical knowledge in manufacturing and design, I pursued a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering at Boston University from which I graduated in May of 2024.

I've worked on various projects and internships, which you can view in my resume here. One of my notable contributions was at Runatek, a Dallas startup focused on developing an autonomous intravenous drug delivery system as a safer and more effective alternative to opioid tablets. There, I contributed to selecting biocompatible materials for medication storage and designing a hardware layout that extended battery life and reduced the device's overall thickness.
