About Me

I am a dedicated and hardworking student at Columbia University passionate about Mechanical Engineering, Physics, and Robotics. I aspire to work at an innovative high-tech company and use my engineering skills to develop products with a positive impact on sustainability and social well-being.
​
I am currently enrolled in a joint (3+2 years) engineering program at Columbia University with the aim of graduating with a dual bachelor’s degree in both Physics and Mechanical Engineering by 2023. I am highly proficient in solving mechanical engineering problems that require deploying knowledge of mathematics, mechanics, and computer programming.
​
I am an independent thinker and a creative problem solver with a strong sense of leadership, self-motivation, and confidence. I thrive on being a part of high-performing teams. My time as a basketball player, working on different projects and internships has taught me how to be a responsible team member and how to excel in a multicultural environment. I've learned to become an effective communicator, and develop my management skills. 
​
My internships in academic and start-up organizations required adapting to creative and fast-paced work practices. I learned how to improve products by anticipating and proactively addressing risks, and effectively presenting information by using technical documentation.
