John Nohrden · 2026

Driven by
curiosity
& craft.

I'm an incoming dual-degree student at Northeastern University — London Scholars Program, studying Mechanical Engineering and Business Administration. I build things: robots, software, organizations.

From captaining three varsity programs to volunteering solo with the Missionaries of Charity in Kolkata, I bring the same intensity everywhere.
