Hi! I am a Mechanical Engineering student at MIT. I love projects that teach me new skills, and I ultimately want to use these skills to improve people's lives. So, I'll take on anything that lets me explore and experiment, but I'm particularly drawn to medical devices and global development. I am especially interested in engineering challenges where thoughtful design can directly improve someone’s safety, comfort, or quality of life. Along the way, I have found I also love helping others learn through their own projects—whether it's through mentorship, collaboration, or hands-on guidance.
Outside of engineering, I firespin with the MIT Spinning Arts club, play the oboe for the MIT Wind Ensemble, and spend as much time as I can outdoors. I particularly enjoy rock climbing, hiking, camping, running, bikepacking, scuba diving, and open water swimming.
