Chemical Engineering

Academic Background: I am a Junior majoring in Chemical Engineering. I am expected to graduate in May 2026.

Research Interest: I am particularly interested in consumer goods production. It is my goal to improve the state of current consumer brands, for healthier impacts on both the human body and the environment, while also one day being able to design a product of my own.

Professional Experience: My interest in chemistry stemmed from working as a lifeguard since I was 16. I was able to gain knowledge on managing and adjusting water quality, ensuring the pool chemicals were not at the levels that they could harm the patron’s skin.

Interest/Hobbies: In my free time I like to go on runs, listen to music, go driving around with friends, and watch reality TV shows. I am also passionate about giving back to my community, which is why I serve as a HuskyTHON morale captain.
