I’m from New York, moved to Pittsburgh for work, and now find myself in Worcester for my PhD.

My journey began at community college and I soon transferred to Columbia University, in the School of Engineering & Applied Science. 

We, as humans, should utilize our brains for discovery, creativity, and creation instead of dangerous, menial tasks; this is where robotics can flourish. 

I’ve always had a passion for robotics, and have discovered other interests that I’d like to incorporate into the field:

• Safer working conditions
  
• Improving sustainability
• Underwater and extraterrestrial discovery
