About Me

I am a creative engineer who loves diving deep into user-centered design, with an enthusiasm for data analysis. I am currently seeking full-time employment following my Spring 2022 graduation from Northeastern University. I have an interest in consumer goods design and the surrounding markets.

In my free time, I like to keep myself active and outside as much as possible. I balance this free time between skiing, skateboarding, lifting weights, and playing hockey (ice and inline). When not in the mood for physical activity I am often reading or creating my own design challenges where the goal is to streamline my day and make everyday tasks easier.
