I'm a senior at Northwestern University pursuing dual degrees in Neuroscience and Journalism along with a certificate from the Segal Design Institute. I'm also pursing a Master's Degree in Design Engineering with concentrations in Product Design and Product Management.
As a self-learner and creative problem solver, I'm excited by spaces of ambiguity and use my hyperfocus and roaming curiosity to learn skills relevant to the problem at hand. I believe in the power of authentic communication and storytelling to bring ideas to life and create meaningful connections.
In my free time, you might find me working on a passion project, creating a set list for Northwestern's radio show, or playing chess. I love road tripping and hiking at home in San Diego and draw inspiration from nature's ingenious solutions to the most complex design problems.
