About Me

Hello! I am currently pursuing my Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where I am a researcher in the MIT Sports Lab supported by a research assistantship from the MIT Sandbox Musculoskeletal Health Drive. I graduated in May 2024 with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from MIT. Within my studies, I continue to explore my interests in sports biomechanics, design, manufacturing, and sustainable engineering solutions. This exploration has been facilitated by diverse coursework and hands-on projects throughout my time at MIT.

Beyond the classroom, I was a member of the varsity softball team during my undergraduate years. In 2023, our team won both the conference championship and the NCAA regional title. I have also been privileged to be part of the mechanical engineering honor society, Pi Tau Sigma, where I served in a leadership role on the executive board. As the individual responsible for overseeing my sorority’s philanthropic and service initiatives, I planned events such as a campus-wide talent show, which successfully raised funds for Alzheimer’s research. Additionally, to foster a cleaner environment, I organized a clean-up campaign in the Fenway area on Earth Day, collaborating with the Boston Mayor’s office as well as the Sigma Kappa chapters at Northeastern and BU. This collaborative event demonstrated our commitment to a cleaner Boston area. Coming from Boise, ID, I am drawn to the outdoors and often spend my free time exploring nature.

I strive to combine my excitement for mechanical engineering, enthusiasm for community service, and dedication to sustainability in both my academic and personal pursuits.
