ABOUT ME

Growing up in South Florida, I spent as much time in the water as on the field. I competed in swimming and rowing, and played soccer and basketball alongside my three brothers. Injuries often left me on the sidelines, which gave me a deep appreciation not only for the sports I loved, but also for thoughtful products that enhance safety while keeping play fun.

​

I earned my degree in Cognitive Science from Dartmouth College, with minors in Human-Centered Design and Digital Art. During my undergraduate studies, I helped conceptualize a range of digital applications, including one in partnership with the medical school to support the diagnosis and treatment of anxiety and depression. After graduation, I worked at IBM as an Associate Designer, focusing on website design and user experience.

​

Now in my second year of the MS in Sports Product Design program at the University of Oregon, I’m passionate about creating products that help athletes feel confident, safe, and empowered in motion. My children’s ski jacket with an integrated harness is patent pending and was selected through peer review for presentation at the International Textile and Apparel Association (ITAA) 2025 Conference. Guided by empathy and a drive to make performance products more inclusive and protective, I aim to design apparel and equipment that not only support athletic excellence but also foster joy and confidence in every athlete.
