I am an engineer and self-taught designer passionate about bringing creativity into the world of technology! I completed my B.S. in Biomedical Engineering at Virginia Tech and am currently working as an Electrical Design Engineer at Stryker Instruments. My past research has raised my interest in creating better medical devices for patients that improve at-home treatment and provide more accessible interfaces with a focus on patient education. I am also very passionate about infusing more creative/artistic practices into traditional engineering to make STEM more engaging and accessible to underrepresented students. 

 

In my free time, you can usually find me painting, sketching, reading, or designing a new dress for myself!
