Hello!

Thank you for visiting my page! I am excited to show you who I am and what I offer. If you haven't seen my resume yet, take a look.

I am an electrical and computer engineer currently located in Washington. I have a technical background in hardware, software, and data processing as well as strong interpersonal skills and leadership experience. I graduated cum laude from Cornell University where I explored my passion for microcontrollers and embedded programming in addition to discovering an interest in human biology and sustainable agriculture. After receiving my bachelor's, I further explored this passion and attended University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. At UIUC, I conducted research into viral testing using nanosensors and portable medical devices before graduating with my Master's in Bioengineering. Currently, I work as an engineer at General Electric Research where I've supported projects with GE Healthcare and GE Aerospace. My current work at GE and previous work at the Naval Nuclear Lab has allowed me to work on a wide variety of platforms and products; from cutting edge ultrasound therapies, to the flight test program for the Boeing 777X, to instrumentation support for U.S Navy submarines. Outside of work I enjoy anything that gives me a reason to be outside like hiking, swimming, and rock climbing as well as indoor activities including baking and building my next DIY project.
