ABOUT ME
Born and raised in Philadelphia, I’ve always had an interest in learning how things work. From blocks to Legos and Knex to toy robots, I could always be found building things or taking them apart. I am a rising Junior at the University of Colorado, Boulder, majoring in Mechanical Engineering, a field that seems to be a natural fit for me. Beyond having an aptitude for Physics and Mathematics, I chose to pursue an education in Mechanical Engineering due to the discipline’s broad applicability in nearly all aspects of everyday life. In addition to my technical coursework, I will earn an Engineering Leadership Certificate.
In my first two years at CU, I have had the privilege of working through courses in design, dynamics, solid modeling, material mechanics, and technical communication, to name a few. In addition to my membership in a few STEM-focused clubs, I have chosen to broaden my experience by participating in the snowboarding and hiking clubs.
This website contains highlights from the most impactful and meaningful projects that I have worked on that demonstrate my aptitude as an engineer.
