MY BIO

Who I Am

I’m lucky to have had the opportunity to build a career in Mechanical Engineering. From a young age I’ve been driven by creation and technology. With experience in the academic setting and professional setting, I now have the tools I need to develop innovative projects. I am excited to do just that in my professional future.

I have learned so much from my professors and the senior engineers I have worked under, but I have so much more to learn from others in the industry. I am a team leader, and my work ethic is unmatched. I strive to contribute as much as possible to my projects and I inspire those around me to do the same. I’d love to chat with you about how we might work together in the future.
