Hi! I am a G3 studying Space Engineering, working with Professor Sergio Pellegrino in the Space Structures Lab on problems related to in-space assembly of large ring-like structures. I'm originally from New York, and before joining Caltech, I received a BS in aerospace engineering from MIT and an MPhil in engineering from the University of Cambridge. Outside work, I enjoy playing the piano and violin, as well as cooking, baking, and traveling.

As a member of the Graduate Student Advisory Board, I aim to build cohesion within EAS, both on an academic and social level. This might involve organizing more division-wide social events to help people break out of their departmental bubbles, or panel discussions on technical and professional development topics of interest to EAS students. Please feel free to reach out with any ideas of how to enrich the Caltech graduate student experience!
