So when I started at
Harvard, I was actually
a biomedical engineering.
And then I took a
circuits course,
and that transformed my
cool idea of what I can do.
I fell the love with circuits.
The learning is way possible.
And so I ended up
switching to EE.
I loved it.
It's been really cool to learn
about how electronics work,
and how he can make them
do the things I want.
For my senior
thesis project, I'm
working on building a
personal wearable device that
uses low power wide area
networks to communicate
over a GPS signal.
So basically, the
relevance of this
is building a safety device that
energy efficient, so hopefully
lasts for months and years.
And wide area, so it can
send signals for kilometers.
If you're in the middle
what, you can still get out.
And my hope is that
by allowing people
to make safety
something that's easily
incorporated into
their lifestyle
that they can go
about doing the things
that they want with one
less obstacle in the way.
Make Harvard has been the
most meaningful experience
I've had here.
I've absolutely loved
building this organization
with our team.
So it started actually that
summer of my sophomore year.
And we wanted to
make a Megathon,
because we feel like
there's this kind of aura
around engineering
project that, you know,
you really got to know what
you're doing in order to start.
But in reality, the
more you build, I think,
the better you get at it.
And we just want to create
a space where students
can feel like, they can
create anything they want,
rather it's just like some
scrappy project that's
like totally fighting.
Or some project that's just
like the first iteration
of something they want to see.
We ask students in
design and fashion
in environmental
studies, come together
and start thinking, how can
we design better air filters?
How can we design better shoes?
And use our lives
as the building
block to start on the way
to achieving those goals.
You know, tech has
this reputation
for being like really hard, like
only a certain type of person
to do it.
But if you're committed to
learning, anyone can do it.
And once you realize
that, I think
it unlocks a lot of doors
in terms of people believing
in themselves.
Long term, I'm really
interested in how
we can use technology as a way
to digitally empower others.
