She coaches her university club hockey team, helps at a local summer camp, and has experience planning fundraisers for a local scholarship program. 

She is particularly interested in exploring sustainable infrastructure and climate-change resilience, as well as integrating ethical, interdisciplinary approaches from mechanical engineering to address global humanitarian and sustainability challenges. In her free time, she loves backpacking, snowboarding, and hanging out with her dog Banjo.
