Bailey Levin

Bailey is a junior studying biomedical engineering. He is happy to be back to interacting with people, but still finds it difficult to understand people at times when they are wearing a mask. That, as well as his family members who are hard of hearing, has motivated him to explore potential ways to improve communication with masks.
