I use they/them pronouns. I’m a mechanical engineering major, also minoring in Asian American Studies, with a passion for accessible technology, dog training, and community-culture-centered design. I’m deeply interested in Asian American culture and how identity, advocacy, and engineering intersect. I love learning, building, and supporting people in ways that are both practical and meaningful.
