Purpose

I am pursuing chemical or biomedical engineering because I want to work on problems where the answers matter to real people. The intersection of biology, chemistry, and engineering — drug delivery, tissue engineering, the molecular mechanisms of how bodies work and heal — is where I want to spend my career.

My own experience with shoulder surgery at 16 gave me a personal understanding of what it means to navigate injury, recovery, and the patience required to rebuild. I carry that experience into how I think about the engineering problems I want to solve someday.

I also carry it into how I coach. Every young athlete I work with gets the version of instruction I wish I had always had — technically precise, honest about the process, and grounded in the belief that preparation in the background is never wasted.

As VP Philanthropy of National Charity League, I direct our chapter's service programming toward causes that matter. The same thread runs through all of it — I want to be useful. To my team, to my students, to my community, and eventually to the field of engineering.
