Automatic Fish Feeder
Our team were tasked with designing a fish feeder for a Tufts community member. Her mobility issues and fine motor difficulties make it challenging for her to reach the top of the tank to feed the fish independently. Before, she poured the fish food from the container into the staff’s hands and relies on staff assistance to pour the fish food into the tank. With our solution, the community member is able to easily press the giant blue button, which sends a signal to the 3-D printed dispenser, which releases a pre-portioned amount of food.

Psychology of Fit
A team of researchers, including me explored how body image and different sizing challenges influence online shopping decisions. We conducted one-on-one interviews, gathering valuable insights that directly influenced the design of a user-centered tool. After our research period, we analyzed results and were approved to present our findings at the NEC HFES conference.

2025Real Rapid Transit
I was on a team of Tufts students who are helped lead a coalition of non-profit organizations to push the Bus Rapid Transit campaign forward. We brought awareness to a new form of public transportation that would greatly benefit the city of Worcester, MA. My biggest contribution was designing the organization's website, marketing collateral, and digital flyers. I also lead community outreach initiatives to secure strategic partnerships and drive user engagement regarding improvement of public transportation in Worcester, MA.
Consumer Behavior Analyst and Market Researcher Work
During my internships with Copeland, I had the unique opportunity to be part of the Innovation team, which meant that I was able to design and conduct user interviews to prove the viability and feasibility of the product that was being built at the time.
I also was brought back for a second semester of interning to use my research and behavior analyst skills to leverage market research and data analysis to project future consumer trends.
At the end of each semester, Copeland chooses a handful of interns who demonstrated outstanding work to share their projects and insights. I was given the opportunity to showcase my research as well as other side projects I worked.
Due to my contributions, I am part of the team who has a Patent for this product.
