What I'm looking for

I am seeking hands-on biomedical engineering roles that involve prototyping, Arduino-based systems, data processing, and collaborative research in a supportive, growth-focused environment.

I am a biomedical engineering student with practical experience in Arduino programming, circuitry, soldering, and data processing for sensorimotor rehabilitation research. I have contributed to team projects including a motion-sensor water dispenser and temperature-sensing circuits, and I support speech study data processing in an undergraduate research role.

I actively engage in engineering outreach as an ambassador and dean's host, and I have leadership experience as a vice president of a high school honor society. I seek opportunities where I can apply my technical skills, collaborate on hands-on design and prototyping, and contribute to impactful biomedical engineering projects.
