I am a self-proclaimed lifelong athlete, multimedia artist, and currently, slightly insane PhD student swimming in deep waters. Sports instilled in me a "never-give-up" attitude, and the arts taught me that there are few problems that can't be solved with a little creativity, stubbornness, and blind optimism. I have made multiple pivots in terms of the direction of my work and life, but every experience has been a valuable lesson that carries on to the next in unexpected ways. After all, life is more interesting when it's unpredictable!

I am a 3rd year PhD student at Northeastern and orthopaedics researcher at MGH. I design, develop, and evaluate emerging technologies and immersive experiences to complement physical therapy, training, and strength and conditioning practices.
I like to say I'm a jack of all trades, and I have enough hobbies to fill 3 lifetimes. I am a dancer, competitive figure skater, scuba diver, avid snowboarder, lover of arts and crafts (crochet, macrame, sketching, etc.), and mom to the cutest, fluffiest siberian husky Maverick ♥♥♥
