Experience and Projects

I am a Mechanical Engineer originally from the Greater Houston area living and working in the Kentuckiana region! My previous retail management experience has proven to be a great asset during my education and internships, and continues to help me create, lead, and work within teams while maintaining a positive work environment.

I pride myself in taking the initiative to set and meet objectives within cross-functional teams. I readily collaborate with colleagues to complete these objectives and improve each other's knowledge and skills. I was able to utilize my unconventional background during my internships to integrate efficiently within engineering teams and provide a unique perspective.

I also acquired team and leadership experience as the Technical Design Lead at my university's Formula SAE team to build effective engineering teams and complete objectives on time. I look forward to contributing to a sustainable future as an engineer in my current and future roles!
