I am a fourth year student at Northeastern University studying Bioengineering, concentration in Biomechanics, with a minor in Computer Science. 

​

I am passionate about bionics, biomimicry, early stage design, and rehabilitation devices/instruments.

 

My previous work experience includes working at Farm Design (mechanical engineering co-op), Corindus Vascular Robotics (software/electrical R&D co-op), and GLOBALFOUNDRIES (database and game design intern). I have also conducted research designing biomimetic components of a robotic lobster and currently am working on creating an impact resistant material to mimic a crab's shell. 

​

I also recently got the opportunity to study bio-inspired design and innovation for two months at Oxford University in the UK.

 

I excel when working with a team, enjoy sketching/brainstorming sessions, and love hands-on prototype builds.

​

Other interests and activities include...​

  • I have played cello for 11 years, including electric cello

  • I enjoy rock climbing

  • On campus I am a tour guide through Husky Ambassadors and am involved in many Northeastern Admissions events/initiatives

  • I sew and construct cosplays

  • I homebrew Kombucha tea

  • I enjoy cooperative board games and am a founder of Northeastern University Association of Gaming Enthusiasts
