Global Challenge: Climate Change & Public Health
Engineers are the liaison between scientists and the public, taking theoretical principles and applying them to the real world. I aim to leverage my education at NYU as a foundation for a career focused on sustainability and innovation, driving impactful solutions for a better future.
Bio:
I am a junior majoring in Applied Physics with a Business minor at NYU Tandon School of Engineering. I was born in London but have lived most of my life in Madrid, Spain. I grew up in a multicultural household with strong ties to northern and western Spain.
I believe it is crucial to develop technologies that are both economically viable and environmentally sustainable. Last summer, I interned at Procter & Gamble, where I led projects on alternative packaging solutions. The summer before, I interned at CSIC (Spanish National Research Council) in Madrid, where I explored my passion for sustainability by collaborating with a team focused on creating biodegradable plastics from avocado pits.
Currently, I am a Data Science Intern at a stealth-mode biotech company, where I focus on market research and develop customer segmentation strategies.
I earned third place in a quantum computing hackathon at NYU Tandon, where I collaborated on a project addressing sustainability challenges in agritech. Additionally, I previously volunteered as a foreign language instructor in Florence, Italy, where I created engaging lessons to help students enhance their language skills.
In my free time, I enjoy staying active by swimming and playing pickleball. I cherish moments spent with friends exploring the city, trying new restaurants, and watching movies. I also love to cook and bake, and I'm always up for a karaoke session.
