Every experience I have has molded me into the engineer I am today.

With the Baja SAE team, I have loved satisfying my organizational side where I managed the team’s finances, fundraising initiatives, competition logistics, and build schedules to take a group of 50 engineers and produce a beautiful, competitive vehicle.

Through my Soft Goods internship at Apple, I worked in an “engineer’s playground” where I was exposed to seemingly unlimited resources to build and produce beautiful products. This experience brought out my creative side and taught me to never accept anything less than perfection.

As a pilot, I absolutely love the freedom to fly (almost) anywhere and explore places that I could never have imagined. The engineering side of me is fascinated with the mechanics of flight and loves seeing the history of engineering advancements so clearly shown in each airport I land at as I arrive in an airplane built in the ‘60s and taxi past jets that were designed a few years ago.

In the machine shop as a shop technician, I wear several hats as I teach students, facilitate outreach, and improve shop culture. My technical skills have grown as I mentor students on their woodworking, mill, lathe, and welding projects. Additionally, in the role of “Operations and Outreach Supervisor” I have taken on the daunting task of expanding outreach programs to reach under-represented students and show them that the machine shops are a place to learn and grow. Finally, I am examining the processes, systems, and culture within the shop technician community so we can grow to become more supportive of each other and the students who enter our shops.

Finally, at Apple and Micro-Vu I challenged myself through mechanical design projects where I was able to take significant ownership from initial conception through prototyping, testing, detailed design, and production. These experiences ingrained in me the importance of attention to detail while learning to balance perfection and timeliness.
