<span style="color: rgb(17, 17, 17); font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: small; letter-spacing: 0.45px;">[[File:Low res.jpg|250px]]Originally from Dallas, I am a Mechanical Engineering Student at Rice University slated to graduate May 2018. My interests include human-centered design thinking, product engineering design, and environmental sustainability. My dream is to impact people's lives for the better through thoughtful, responsible, and passionate creation. </span>
<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif;">There’s a certain food for the soul found in aesthetics. Studying the nature of form, function, aesthetic, and beauty drives me. Living a life complacent and ignorant of the incredible testaments to human creation seems almost unbearable. My studies in Mechanical Engineering inform my drive to create beautiful, meaningful objects.</span></span>
<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif;">Through kindling emotion, eliciting interpretation, or evoking contemplation, I create meaning, and consequently succeed as a designer, artist, and engineer. I strive to be a diverse and critical thinker with the skills to tackle future societal issues such as sustainability, energy, environment, planned obsolescense, and waste. By emotionally and conceptually affirming the twists and turns of our world through art, methodically planning and empathizing through design, and physically and materially ameliorating suffering through engineering, I hope to consequently pursue the higher goal of instigating change in this world for the better.</span></span>
