Growing up, I became fascinated with classical music; I loved playing my clarinet for other people as well as studying the specific mechanisms of the clarinet. Exploring the different components of the instrument led me to deepening my understanding in engineering.
At Stanford, I study Product Design Engineering︎︎︎!  The Product Design program teaches a design process that encourages creativity, craftsmanship, and personal expression, aesthetics, and emphasizes brainstorming and need finding. The course work provides students with the skills necessary to carry projects from initial concept to completion of working prototypes. My mission in Product Design is to graduate as a designer who can synthesize technology and aesthetics in the service of human need. 
I’m also fascinated with how humans interact with each other. My second degree is in Psychology︎︎︎. As our worlds become increasingly multicultural, being a person and expert in human behavior requires a deep understanding of how culture, race, gender, social class, and other sources of identity shape how people think, feel, and relate to one another.
