About Me

______________________

Hello! I am a graduate of the University of Colorado Boulder with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering. As a kid, I was always fascinated by how the internal and external structures and components of different systems work together to complete their designated tasks. With my Dad, I would help around the house and build things to use like skatepark ramps,  allowing me to examine more of how things are made to be used. Growing up in Seattle fostered my love for the outdoors, whether it be snowboarding in the winter, scootering at skateparks in the summer, or playing sports.

In my undergraduate college career, I was able to explore my interests in creative problem solving much more within engineering and recreation. I have gotten the opportunity to work on many group projects at the University of Colorado, Boulder. In these, I have been able to bring math and models to life, winning things like 1st place at the Wobbler Engine Runoff and 2nd place at the mobility division of the Drill-Bike Runoff with my effective design efforts and team leadership.  I have just completed working as the Logistics Manager and Audio Engineer for the Arrow Vane for Archery Hunting Capstone project to redesign arrow vanes to have scientifically proven accuracy, stability, drag, and sound characteristics when in flight.  Outside of engineering, I enjoy coming up with new recipes, playing disc golf, snowboarding, and spending time exploring with friends.
