ABOUT ME

I'm a recent graduate from UC Santa Barbara where I majored in mechanical engineering and minored in technology management. Growing up I was always fascinated by the intersection of engineering and business. I love the ability to wear multiple hats and work in multi-disciplinary cross functional teams to deliver the best product possible.

My biggest strengths are my flexibility and curiosity. I've had wonderful opportunities to work in an R&D lab that develops LIDAR systems for autonomous cars, a manufacturing company that creates custom lighting systems, a startup that focuses on consumer apps, a non profit clothing donation service, and most recently working for NASA at JPL to help humankind get to Mars.

Outside of engineering, I'm extremely passionate about entrepreneurship and linguistics. I've taken countless finance, marketing and business classes to complement my technical background, so I can make my dreams a reality. I currently speak 5 languages and I plan on learning one every 3 years because languages allow me to truly experience other cultures.

As a life-long learner, I love talking to

passionate people, so please feel free to reach out to me!
