Designed and developed a website to house curriculum that Olin students created for k-12 students. Designed to be similar to websites that educators use to find hands on projects for their students to learn in new and exciting ways. I also designed the website to fit with the existing Olin College website. Used Figma to design the website and HTML/CSS to program.

Worked as an intern on Cobalt Robotics engineering team. Mainly worked on software for Cobalt robots using ROS, Python and C.

Worked on an indoor navigation app, Clew, that was developed as a tool for visually impaired people. I worked on creating an in-app tutorial for Clew that users could use at any time. The tutorial included descriptions of how to use the app along with interactive practices that gave users a chance to try out parts of the app in bite-sized chunks.

Electromyography (EMG) research project with Dr. Samantha Michalka in her Human Augmentation Lab. This research can be used in the future of human machine interfaces. As we move away from interacting with our devices with a keyboard or a phone screen, we will need accurate ways to control a device with a hand gesture. EMG is a way to measure the electrical signals that stimulate muscle movement. We are working on understanding and reading those signals by using feature selection and machine learning, so that a user could control a device accurately and in real time by moving their arm and hand.

I got trained as a reading tutor in the Orton Gillingham method, which is an individualized teaching method that was designed to help students with learning disabilities such as dyslexia. I worked with many students who were in elementary and middle school. I learned about their struggles, their needs and their strengths through this work, and I became passionate about helping this underserved group of people.
