Hello! I'm a Junior at Columbia University studying Mechanical Engineering, previously I have completed a BA in Engineering and Economics at Claremont McKenna College. I am very interested in the Entertainment and Hospitality Industry, more specifically Themed entertainment, Amusement Parks, and Casinos. I also have interests in Robotics, Design, and Product Development.

Through my unique interests and educational background I have developed a strong foundation in both quantitive and physical fabrication skills, which grants me holistic understanding of the production life cycle. This skill set allows me to support all aspects of a project, starting from the ideation and prototyping stage all the way to deployment and integration. I have interned at companies like Walt Disney Imagineering in their Research and Development Department. There, I refined and built up my Creative Design, Prototyping and Physical fabrication skills, through unique and innovative projects.

At my core, I am a Maker and Engineer who pushes for positive change and human connections, through my work. If you're looking for someone who is passionate about these areas or want to chat, let's connect!
