Ally is an MBA student at Darthmouth. She is a Navy veteran, who recently worked Annapolis while completing her master’s degree in Liberal Arts at St. John’s College. Ally wants to pursue her long-time interest in developing medical devices. Ally was a US Navy F/A-18 pilot. While studying at St. John's Univeristy, she also taught at the Naval Academy. As a 2017 Mitchell Scholar, Ally studied Electronic and Communications Engineering at DIT. She is a graduate of the US Naval Academy where she studied Weapons & Systems Engineering, academically ranked in the top 5% of her class, and was the captain of the Naval Academy’s Women’s Ice Hockey team. She has synesthesia, a neurological condition in which one sense is perceived and then overlapped by others. Her interest in prosthetics and medical device design stems from her own sensitivity to movement. Her undergraduate project involved modernizing a common 3D-printed prosthetic hand for children so that it is touchscreen compatible. Her master’s project at DIT was the creation of a small, portable, Bluetooth enabled phantom limb stimulation device.
