Ever since I was a little kid, I remember looking up at the sky and seeing planes of all shapes and sizes flying overhead. I always wondered how they worked and why they could defy gravity while the rest of us are stuck on the ground. The same curiosity I had for planes also applied to all things mechanical. I always wanted to know how everything works from cars and trains to printers and computers. Everything works so differently with only simple similarities. I used every resource available to me to expand my knowledge and learn how everyday items function. I didn’t know it then, but I soon found out that I was destined to be an engineer. This passion carried me through my education at the University of Cincinnati. The University of Cincinnati allowed me to continue to expand my knowledge of physics and math to allow me to better understand the world that we live in today. I have learned new skills including MATLAB, Python, Microsoft Office, LabVIEW, Rapid Prototyping, and NX modeling both in and outside the classroom. I look forward to continuing my education to farther my skills as an engineering and work to make the world a better place for everyone.
