A place for the story behind the resume.

Overview

Professional summary

I grew up in Penfield, New York and attended public school, where I developed a real love for science and math early on. From a young age, I was drawn to figuring out how things worked, solving problems step by step, and spending time in environments that challenged me to think clearly. That mindset carried into high school, where I became deeply involved both inside and outside the classroom. A big part of that involved stepping into leadership roles and building confidence in public speaking, experiences that taught me how to communicate clearly, stay composed under pressure, and take ownership when other people were counting on me. Those years shaped a lot of how I approach school, work, and team environments today.

Now, as a student in the Cornell College of Engineering, I am deciding between Chemical Engineering and Operations Research and Information Engineering as a major. I am especially drawn to work that sits at the intersection of analytical thinking, programming, systems, and real-world problem solving, and I have a strong interest in technology and web development. I have enjoyed building websites and learning by doing, and I am excited by work that combines technical depth with practical impact. Outside the classroom, I love being outdoors and spending time camping, in nature, hiking, and canoeing. Music is another major part of who I am. I taught myself guitar and especially love artists like John Mayer and Jimi Hendrix. Together, those academic interests and personal interests have made me someone who values curiosity, independence, creativity, and steady growth. As I continue at Cornell, I am looking for opportunities to keep developing both as an engineer and as someone who can use technology thoughtfully and effectively.
