I am a second year student at Rochester Institute of Technology studying mechanical engineering technology. I graduated high school in June of 2023 at New Milford Highschool in New Jersey. In high school I was president of the engineering club. My freshman year of high school I was first introduced to Sketch Up which was a form of CAD, and later taught how to use the laser cutter which was a Glow Forge. These tools were used all 4 years of high school which allowed me to make multiple different personal projects for my friends, teachers, and myself. I was also part of many societies in high school such as the French Honors Society, National Honors Society, and the Academies. When I came to college my first semester I used a CNC machine and the laser cutter on multiple occasions making different personal projects
