I am an incoming Computer Science Ph.D. student at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), where I will be advised by Professor Nancy Amato. Currently, I am an undergraduate student at the University of New Mexico (UNM) in the Tapia Lab, working with Professor Lydia Tapia.

My research specializes in robotics and deep reinforcement learning, with a focus on bridging the "sim-to-real" gap. I am interested in adapting simulation-trained policies for physical hardware to tackle complex, real-world motion planning tasks.

My work has been recognized with the 2026 CRA Outstanding Undergraduate Researcher Award Honorable Mention, a Best Presentation Award at the 2025 Southwest Robotics Symposium, and multiple papers, including a journal publication in IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters (RA-L).

Outside of the lab, I lead the Software Team for the Lobo Motorsports FSAE team and play for the UNM Men's Lacrosse Team, which I co-founded.
