I am currently a student at Purdue University studying industrial design with minors in design and innovation, furniture design, and wood products manufacturing. I fell in love with design because of its balance between creativity and problem solving. I grew up drawing with my dad for hours in our basement. He helped instill my love of drawing and showed me that if you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life. I found that type of passion in industrial design. 

Aside from being in the studio designing, I am most likely to be found in Mackey or Ross-Ade cheering on the Boilermakers any chance I get. I am an avid runner, ultimate frisbee player, and enjoy good game of pickup basketball. I just ran my first marathon, and hope to be able to run at Boston one day.  I also enjoy traveling and hiking through any type of terrain, but I truly love the scenery and mountain ranges of the west. Photography is a newer hobby of mine too. My favorite things to shoot are my brother's cross country races and vacations to national parks. I am always down for an adventure, so there is never a dull moment when I am around.
