About

With a robust educational background in design and engineering, including dual Master of Arts degrees from Brown University School of Engineering and Rhode Island School of Design, I have honed my expertise in design strategy and communication. My academic journey also includes a cross-registration at Harvard University in Climate Science, Technology, and Policy, and a Bachelor of Design in Visual Communication from MIT Institute of Design. Professionally, I am currently spearheading design strategies at Other Tomorrows, leveraging my experience as a Graduate Teaching Assistant at Brown University and a Research Sprint Participant at Harvard's Berkman Klein Center. Previously, as a Design Associate at Common Thread, I contributed to global public health projects, collaborating with organizations like UNICEF and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. My diverse experiences reflect a commitment to integrating design with societal impact, particularly in the realms of public health and digital media.
