Who am I?

I am a Senior at MIT majoring in Mechanical Engineering with a focus in Robotics and a concentration in Political Science. I was born in San Francisco, but grew up outside Boston. I am always active and love the outdoors. If I‘m not in the classroom or on a field, you would find me hiking in Maine or walking my dog Scout through the woods.

Why do I do what I do?

Ever since I was young, I have been captivated by the mechanical world. I would spend hours watching trains rumble by, staring up at planes defying gravity, and throw together wood scraps in my garage forging my next contraption. When I arrived at MIT and was told about a major where I could build whatever I wanted and tell it what to do too, I knew I had found my paradise. Over two years later, my attention has focused towards bridging the gap between humans and our technology. I hope to further push the limits of engineering to create good in the world and impact the lives of others. 

What do I do in my free time?

While MIT doesn't exactly give me a lot of free time, I do have some, and if I'm not in class, a lab, or working through problem sets, ​I'll still be busy. I play Varsity Squash at MIT and co-direct the Flux Accelerator. Healthy body healthy mind, right?

What are my long-term goals?

My goals are simple: I want to be at the forefront of innovation, building and creating the next generation of technologies. I plan to combine mechanical precision with innovative ways of thought to further bridge the gap between humans and tech to positively affect our lives. I want to responsibly change the way we interact with technology in our everyday lives. I have no interest in sitting at a desk all day, working away on a project that will never see the light of day or make no difference in people's lives. Most importantly, I want to be surrounded by people that are smarter than I am, people who will push me to think bigger and more creatively, emphasize teamwork, and share my passion toward always striving for more.
