Hi! I am the design co-lead for the bridge design team for the 2026/2027. I’ve been a part of EIA since fall of 2025 as a design team member/design lead shadow and I am very excited to be back as a lead and take on a larger role within the team! Outside of EIA, I am also involved with the Black Engineering Student Association. In my free time I enjoy singing, watching movies and most recently, learning to play the bass guitar!

I’m excited to work on this year’s bridge design with the team!
