I specialize in bridging the gap between technical innovation and creative

vision, transforming concepts into reality.

​

I received an MS and a BS from MIT in mechanical engineering. Before moving abroad, I designing themed game installations for the global FIRST Robotics Competition, collaborating with Disney Imagineering. I've also worked as a mechanical engineer at Eiratech Robotics in Ireland and led the mechanical design on a project to integrate a race car helmet with EEGIn recent years, I've pivoted to remote freelance work to accommodate multiple international moves, focusing on creating STEM Education and Edutainment products, media, books, and immersive experiences.

​

My books include Hex Allen and the Clanksmiths (The Innovation Press, 2022), a middle-grade STEM fantasy quest and Maker Girl and Professor Smarts (Candlewick/MIT Kids, 2025), an upcoming STEM-themed graphic novel series.
