Educational Studies Program (ESP) puts on weekend and week-long programs where MIT students can volunteer to teach a subject on a topic of their choice. In my second year, I participated in a weekend of SPLASH I taught "Crisply Crafting Paper Airplanes" where I taught two sessions of 20 high school students how to fold paper airplanes and what aerodynamic properties make them fly. In my third year, I taught student how to CAD and 3D print their own Croc Jibbitz.

Supporting kids affected by a parents cancer with year round community events and a week-long summer camp.

Sunnyvale, California, United States

Working on the Multi Port Accessories Design Engineering Team to innovate and verify the DaVinci robot's sterile drapes. Projects include understanding manufacturing processes to design cost-reduction features, designing test fixtures and experiments, and performing verification testing.

Redesigned a drug delivery device to be replenishable and thus enable its clinical utility; made hydrogel-adhered soft actuators, analyzed diffusion profiles; identified hydrogels’ surgical applications with physicians; presented progress to PIs, residents, summer internsJoint project between Freedman Lab at BIDMC and Roche Lab at MIT; worked closely with Drs. Ellen Roche, Benjamin Freedman, and Keegan Mendez

Worked under the supervision of Dr. Mercedes Balcells-Camps and Dr. Roberta Sabino to design a material to be applied to medical implants that can self-sense malgrowth before complications arise.

As an academic mentor for Amphibious Achievement, a mentorship program for high school students in the Boston Area, I help students realize their potential by instilling in them a sense of confidence from the competence they gain in academics and rowing/swimming.
