Notre Dame Students Empowering through Engineering Development (NDSEED) is an undergraduate organization partnered with Engineers in Action (EIA) at the University of Notre Dame that undertakes year-long civil engineering projects to aid rural, isolated communities abroad, in partnership with Engineers in Action. As the Business Manager, I oversee all financial aspects, including budget management, fundraising, corporate sponsorships, and media campaigns, while also assisting with travel logistics. Throughout the year, my key responsibilities include developing and managing the project budget, cultivating sponsor relationships, coordinating fundraising initiatives, and planning travel logistics. This comprehensive year-long commitment culminates in a summer trip abroad, where I help implement the project on-site.

As the Student Manager for the Notre Dame Women's Rowing Team, I oversee and manage locker room and nutritional services. This role sharpens my organizational skills and supports a conducive environment for athletic success.

As an Operations Sustainability Intern at Ingredion, I will support the Global Operations Environmental, Health, Safety, and Sustainability Team in streamlining sustainability KPI measurements and contributing to impactful environmental projects.

Worked with fellow Hall Council and Sustainability Commissioners across Notre Dame's network to develop and implement strategies to create a more sustainable living environment. Established partnerships with local organizations and campus sustainability initiatives to share best practices and enhance the hall's overall sustainability efforts.

I contributed to a Construction Manager at Risk project focused on wastewater improvements for Richardson, Texas. This role provided hands-on exposure to project management in construction, refining my ability to interpret construction plans and effectively manage field engineering equipment. I gained valuable experience processing RFIs, submittals, and change orders, enhancing my understanding of crucial project documentation processes.

I led a collaborative effort within a team of three to conduct an in-depth energy audit focused on sustainability at a wastewater treatment plant in South Bend, IN. Through analysis of operational processes, we identified key opportunities for energy conservation, resulting in actionable recommendations. Implementing these strategies optimized energy efficiency and impressively reduced operational costs by 35%. This experience exemplifies my commitment to advancing environmental sustainability through practical engineering solutions.
