About Me
designer | mechanical engineer | creative
Hi! I am a fourth-year Mechanical Engineering and Design student at Northeastern University with a concentration in User Experience. I am passionate about creating elegant and functional solutions to tackle engineering problems.
I have over one year of combined start-up and consumer product industry experience between a 6-month co-op at Lyndra Therapeutics and an
8-month internship at Apple. Through these opportunities, I gained valua-ble experience in CAD modeling for rapid prototyping; designing and testing complex mechanisms with mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, and haptic subsystems; and working on cross-disciplinary teams to design solutions for unique challenges.
At school, I am an industrial designer for Generate- Northeastern's stu-dent led product development studio. During my two semesters in Generate, I collaborated with diverse teams of mechanical, electrical,
and software engineers to create a hockey passing machine and a
robotic umpire for industry clients. My responsibilities spanned across a wide breath of design work including chassis design, GUI design,
and branding.
I enjoy working within the intersection of engineering and design. My experiences have only furthered my passion for pushing the boundaries of creativity in this interdisciplinary space, and I am eager to continue exp-loring new opportunities within it. As I look ahead, I hope to contribute my skills to the industrial design side of consumer products.
Outside of work and school, I enjoy cooking, reading, and anything
art related. I also love traveling! Much of my free time in California, while working for Apple, was spent traveling up and down the Pacific Coast Highway. My most recent adventure has brought me to Thailand where I will be spending the semester taking design courses at Mahidol University.
