I grew up in Chicago with a love for all team sports — especially soccer. I attended Tufts University, where I played varsity soccer while studying mechanical engineering on the pre-medicine track. After graduating Tufts, I studied sneaker pattern making and prototyping at the Arsutoria School in Milan. Through internships at Lego Education, Massachusetts General Hospital and Cedars Sinai in wearable technology, my background in fashion, sports, and engineering has allowed me to create effective wearable technology solutions that combine function and aesthetics. My wearable technology device at Massachusetts General Hospital is currently patent pending and research is published with the American Institute of Physics and arXiv. 

I’m passionate about turning seemingly disparate experiences, knowledge, and perspectives into cohesive, inventive solutions that address inequities in women’s and adaptive sports. This drive has shaped my work in the Sports Product Design master's program, which spanned into designing a deaf soccer uniform that facilitates communication with coaches and adaptive outrigger canoe equipment for athletes with lower limb injuries. Now in my second year of Sports Product Design, I continue to use my multidisciplinary background to create innovative sports products rooted in science and shaped by the voices of athletes. When I’m not in the studio, I can be found in the kitchen experimenting with new recipes or on the soccer field, because I refuse to hang up my cleats.
