Bio

I am a first-year student majoring in Chemical Engineering, who is also pursuing minors in Bioengineering and Engineering Corporate Practice. I am apart of the Mary E. Galvin Scholars Program at the University of Notre Dame. I am extremely interested in biotechnology, as well as pharmaceuticals and prosthetics. I am seeking connections with companies, alumni, and others to gain insight on my career path. Currently, I am growing in experience as my first year has allowed me to learn life and professional skills. Through past jobs, working retail, and current jobs, being a Manager for the Notre Dame Women's Basketball team, I have learned communication, time management, and problem solving skills. Additionally, class projects and experiences have allowed me to add technical skills to my repertoire, such as Aurdino, Excel, MATLAB, and Python. These abilities, personal and technical, have intertwined to form self-discovery and quick adaptability. Overall, my college exploration has started my ongoing journey towards dynamic growth, and I remain committed to gaining knowledge and exploring my passions.
