Summary

Driven, compassionate, and curious, I am a Chemical Engineering student at Auburn University with a concentration in Biomedical Engineering. I'm especially interested in designing biomedical solutions and sustainable materials that directly improve health outcomes and quality of life. Whether it's through developing eco-friendly technologies, supporting global communities in need, or providing emergency care as a National Guard combat medic, I'm committed to using engineering for good. My leadership in student organizations, hands-on research experience, and dedication to service reflect my drive to create meaningful, lasting impact in every space I enter. I thrive in fast-paced, team-oriented environments and bring purpose and energy to every challenge I face.
