Bioengineering student at Northeastern University, Boston, MA
Concentration in Medical Devices and Bioimaging
About Me
I’m a Bioengineering student at Northeastern University passionate about medical devices, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and designing with purpose. I’m driven by curiosity, integrity, and a deep commitment to making healthcare more sustainable, affordable, and accessible -- especially through innovative engineering solutions that meet real human needs.
My experience spans lab work, statistical analysis, circuit analysis, and mechanical testing, as well as finite element analysis (FEA), product development, and image-based data processing. I’ve contributed to projects ranging from complex programable controller-based circuit design to hydrogel-based cell viability analysis, and I thrive in hands-on, fast-paced environments that demand both creativity and precision.
Beyond academics, I’m often known as the go-to person when classmates need help understanding a tough concept or tackling an assignment. I genuinely enjoy supporting others and believe collaboration and mentorship are as important as technical skill in solving complex problems.
I find inspiration through painting, reading, and spending time outdoors. I’m based in the Greater Boston area and excited by opportunities that combine technical challenge, social impact, and a strong sense of team.
