I am a first-year at UC Berkeley, studying bioengineering, and I'm super passionate about woodworking and being a maker! Growing up with a dad and an older brother who enjoyed building, I caught some of that and have loved it ever since.

I got the privilege to take woodshop and metal shop classes at my high school (Lick-Wilmerding), and I love making little projects at home in our mini basement woodshop. I created this portfolio in hopes of showcasing some of my creations!

Outside of the technical arts, I'm either on the softball field or the basketball or tennis court. Similar to woodworking, I grew up playing sports and enjoying exercise. I was a four-year four-sport varsity athlete at LWHS, was a junior year captain of basketball and softball, and senior captain of tennis and basketball, earning me the Athlete of the Year award in 2024. I was also an executive student council officer, serving as co-spirit coordinator!

Aside from shops and sports, I love spending time with my friends and family, listening to or playing music, and cooking!
