About
I have been told by employers and professors that I am a hardworking, creative, caring, enthusiastic, and a reliable individual. I really want to pursue a career that allows me to be creative and push boundaries. I love taking on creative challenges and brainstorming ideas. I am pursuing a Bachelor of Industrial Design (B.I.D) at Syracuse University and I am absolutely thriving in the studio culture at Syracuse University. In the future, I would like to work for a company that takes pride in the creative work that they produce and that is ecologically minded. I love long distance running, hiking, and other outdoor activities and would like to incorporate these interests into my professional life. I am passionate about active living and personal health.
