Like a lot of other kids, I loved playing with LEGOs. What excited me the most, though, was seeing what I could build with a mismatch of pieces and letting my imagination roam free. Complete sets always had a place on my shelf, but I always felt most satisfied when it was something I came up with on my own.
Since middle school, I got really into programs in the Adobe Suite,
I put together a working go-kart with spare parts in my friend'
s garage, and I
was always pretty drawn to STEM classes in general. I always wanted to try something new—
whatever I could get my hands on.
I realized pretty early on that I was sitting somewhere
between traditional engineering and creative design. Only, I didn'
t realize
that I could do both until Stanford. But you'
ve surely seen enough about my
love for engineering and design already. Here'
s the rest about me that you

It started when I was just a baby visiting my parents'
homes, but it really kicked up a notch after
studying abroad in college. I knew that I had to take advantage of the opportunity and wanted to
get to as many places as I could in just 10 weeks. I stacked up quite the list, but I really enjoyed
the adventure and exploration, so I kept going! From the food to the architecture to the unbelievable
stories along the way, traveling is something I don'
t think I could ever replace.
I grew up in the middle of nowhere, Pennsylvania— at least, that what it felt like.
I was fully surrounded by nature, and I quickly began to love it. Exploring a new trail or making your own spot
in the woods was the go-to activity growing up. I slowly built up my confidence with heights and thrills.
Now that I'
m older, I'
ve been able to hike incredible national parks, snowboard
on some of the best mountains, zipline in a rainforest, and even skydive at sunset!
Looking to the future, my enthusiasm for learning stays the same.
I'
m committed to evolving my skillset and navigating any challenges that come my way. I just hope that
I'
ll be in an environment that invigorates me and keeps me inspired to continue doing what I'
m doing.
