I am honored to be a part of the WPI community, where the curriculum has allowed me to fully explore my academic passions. WPI has not only been a place for intellectual growth, but has presented me with once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. From competing at an NCAA National Championship to hiking the Koʻolau Mountains in Oahu, Hawaiʻi, my time at WPI has been unforgettable. I would love to talk about my experiences at WPI with you, so please feel free to reach out!

Captain of the WPI Women's Rowing Team 

I have been a member of the Varsity Women's Rowing Team since coming to WPI. We compete in the NEWMAC conference as a NCAA Division III sport. 

MQP: Waste Pavilion

My MQP team is designing and prototyping a pavilion made entirely of recycled 3D-printed plastic. Our goal is to reduce WPI's plastic waste and bring awareness to mental health on campus.

Crimson Key Coordinator

As the CK President, I bridge the gap between CK and the Admissions Staff and coordinate the recruitment, hiring, and training of new tour guides.

BS Mathematical Sciences

Mathematical Sciences majors can explore multiple branches of applied and theoretical mathematics to find the topics they are most interested in.

BS Architectural Engineering

Architectural Engineering majors learn about all parts of a building, from foundational systems and structural beams to HVAC and lighting placement.

Art and Design Club

The Art and Design Club hosts fun weekly craft sessions for people of all skill levels.

IQP: Bridging Sustainability in Hawaiʻi

Working with local nonprofit organizations, my project team investigated approaches to persuade hotels and resorts to invest in meaningful biocultural initiatives. 

2022 DIII Women's Rowing Varsity 8 National Champions

I was a member of the V8 boat that won the NCAA DIII Women's Rowing Championship in Sarasota, FL in 2022. We won the first women’s NCAA championship in WPI history.

Intramural Sports

Intramural sports are a great way to have fun with friends and decompress after a long day. I have played intramural football, basketball, and volleyball.

AREN 2002 PLA

AREN 2002 is the first course in the Architectural Engineering Studio series. I get to help students learn design software and provide feedback on their term design project.

Travel Opportunities

There are so many opportunities for travel at WPI, whether it be through academics, extracurriculars, or research opportunities. I got to travel to Henley-on-Thames, England to compete at the Henley Women's Regatta and visit the historic Leander Boat Club.

Chi Epsilon Secretary

Academic Honor Societies allow students to further connect themselves within their majors or fields of study. I am the Secretary of Chi Epsilon and a member of Tau Beta Epsilon and AEI.

Crimson Key Executive Board

Every week, our Executive Board meets to discuss our progress and the changes we would like to implement in the Crimson Key Tour Guide Program. 

Please let us know how we are doing as a program, and tell us about your tour!
