About

As a Summer Intern at Lockheed Martin and a Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering student at NYU, I am building practical experience in a leading organization while pursuing an engineering education. My academic journey complements my focus on teamwork and organizational skills, honed through retail experience and student leadership roles. My recent research at Rock Canyon High School focused on Parkinson’s disease using C. elegans models and Python-based behavioral analysis, culminating in a published article. As Vice President of Outreach for Colorado HOSA, I facilitated statewide operations, coordinated events, and cultivated partnerships to support over 3,500 members. My goal is to apply my skills to impactful projects in engineering and research.
