About me

I am a 3rd-year mechanical engineering student with a passion for mechanical design, manufacturing, dynamics, and sustainability. I have experience in mechanical design using CAD software such as Solidworks, Fusion360, and Onshape, manufacturing using the Lathe and Mill, and dynamics using Simulink for kinematic and kinetic analysis, as well as software using Matlab and Python. I have a strong mechanical background and I have also expanded my skillset to include mechatronic engineering and testing of machine components. I plan to use what I've learned from projects and jobs to make the most of my skills as I work towards becoming a mechanical design engineer.

In my free time, I love to spend time with my dog, teach piano, and play intramural volleyball!
