About
With a Master of Design in Innovation and Service Design from The Glasgow School of Art and a Bachelor's in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering from Case Western Reserve University, I have a strong foundation in both engineering and design. My experience includes working as a Patent Examiner at USPTO, where I examined patent applications and as a Real Estate Assistant at AMBREI LLC, managing residential rental properties. Additionally, I have worked as a Freelance Photographer and as an Undergraduate Research Assistant at Case Western Reserve University. My diverse background also includes a stint as a Game Developer at Carnegie Mellon University, where I designed video games. These experiences have honed my skills in research, design, and project management. I am passionate about leveraging my interdisciplinary expertise to drive innovation and create meaningful solutions.
