I am a senior Mechanical Engineering student at Tufts University. When I am not in class, I am President of Tufts Bikes (a free student-led bike share on campus), an actor and costume designer for many of the Torn Ticket Productions on campus (the student musical group) and work in the Costume Shop on campus. 

I am a dedicated student, and once I start a project, I put my whole heart into it. I am also very organized, and despite filling my time with many tasks from performing in theatrical shows, going to the gym and planning events related to sustainability on campus, I still have made the Dean’s List each term.
