I was born in a small city in North Carolina called Winston-Salem. I lived there until my Junior year, when I went to Durham to attend the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics. I graduated from there and went to Harvey Mudd College in Claremont, California. I graduated with High Distinction with a degree in Engineering, focusing on Mechanical and Controls Engineering. I am a PhD Candidate in Engineering at MIT's AeroAstro Department, hopefully continuing to a PhD.

I grew up in a house with my younger sister, Anna, my mom and dad, and our dog Tesla. I now live in Cambridge with my boyfriend, Stephen.

I like reading, travel, coding/math puzzles, and making. I work at two makerspaces at MIT: MakerWorks, where I am Electronics Machine Master, and ProtoWorks in the Martin Trust Center. Some of my projects can be seen in the Projects tab.
