About

I'm currently a sophomore at Northeastern University in Boston. I'm a hardworking and motivated individual, concentrated on developing my mechanical engineering skills and learning how to put them to good use. As a rookie in the field of mechanical engineering, I'm keeping an open mind as to what aspect of the field I want to focus on, but I am particularly interested in the biomedical subdivision. Whatever I end up focusing on, it will be something that I'm passionate about and somewhere I can make a difference in the world. I'm an upbeat person, a problem solver, and I feel that I can make a positive impact in any situation.
