Hi, I'm Siena Griffiths

I'm a bioengineering student building projects from what I'm learning in the classroom.

About

A bit more about me…

I'm a bioengineering student at Northeastern, interested in how biology, technology, and innovation come together to solve real problems.

I was recruited to swim for Northeastern's team after competing for the same South Floridian team for over ten years. Swimming has shown me how much self-motivation and being a positive part of a team contribute to overall success. Outside of training and studying, I'm usually making something by hand or getting outdoors, finding a balance between structure and creativity.
