MECHANICAL DESIGN ENGINEER
Specializing in MedTech design & development
Welcome!
I’m excited to share my work with you.
I’ve always loved building—whether it was constructing decks with my dad as soon as I could handle a drill or machining parts for an off-road race car in college.
But it was through a design thinking course that I discovered my natural passion: bringing ideas to life through user-centered design.
This sparked my drive to develop medical devices while collaborating with surgeons, pharmaceutical scientists, and fellow engineers. In these roles, I embraced ownership of mechanical designs, eager to propel healthcare innovations forward.
Now, I’m excited to push boundaries as part of a multidisciplinary product development team, transforming ideas into groundbreaking products that shape the future!
