I'm from Dallas, TX and Seoul, Korea. I've also lived in Sydney and Taipei, and most recently went to school for half a year in Alaska during my gap year. In my spare time, I dance and read novels and cook. I am right now serving as iHouse vice president, and in my spare time I can be found at Trader Joes.

I was born and raised in the suburbs of NY, but my heart is from Guatemala. I've always wanted to be a doctor, and decided to get an engineering degree so I could have a big range of expertise with which best to help people, and I'm super passionate about health equity. I do EMS off campus, and I have a dog named Callie who is literally my most favorite in the whole world. Ever. I also love reading and writing, hence the minor in literature. I'm always down to go out and have an adventure!

I grew up as part of a Nigerian immigrant family in the suburbs of Dallas, Texas. Currently I'm interested in sustainable design and thinking about African + Diasporic culture. At MIT, I've enjoyed traveling to different countries (Kazakhstan, India, Brazil) and being part of additional cultural, social action, and community service orgs. I've served a housing chair within iHouse additionally. Be sure to hit me up with any questions now or in the future!

Hi, I'm a person! I want to be of as much help as I can to society, which is one of the reasons I find it so hard to choose my major, as you can see above.
