I'm a mechanical engineering student at Vanderbilt University interested in medical device design and turning ideas into working prototypes. I love engineering that starts with understanding people's needs and ends with a practical, usable solution.

About me

My name is Abigail Martel, and I'm a 22 year old senior at Vanderbilt University studying mechanical engineering.

I was born and raised in Barrington, Rhode Island, where I grew up loving the water and Boston sports. In 2023, I moved to Nashville, Tennessee, to pursue my degree at Vanderbilt. During my time here, I've discovered a passion for medical device design and hope to help make medical technology more affordable and accessible.

I've also had the opportunity to study abroad twice, first in Cape Town, South Africa, and then in Madrid, Spain, where I discovered how much I love traveling. In summer 2026, I moved to San Francisco, California, to work as an R&D engineering intern at Boston Scientific.

Outside of engineering, I love baking, hiking, yoga, exploring new places, and spending time with my dogs!
