I am a mechanical engineer who's incredibly lucky to do something they are passionate about. I shared car enthusiasm with my dad, and what made me the most excited about cars were the stories of the challenges engineers would have to solve and design around. From that moment, the question that always came up was, "How does that work?" whether it be cars, bikes, planes, and everything else going up or down the complexity scale. As a mechanical engineering undergraduate at the University of California Riverside, I continued to explore engineering and feed my passion across a wide range of experiences ranging from student org to independent research and prototyping in the Bionics Systems Lab to interning at Cummins Inc. and working with large teams and communicating between different teams and machinists. I learned hard skills like CAD Design, MATLAB and Arduino coding, and FEA analysis. I also learned soft skills like communication, teamwork, and keeping records of project progress to share what I learned with others in the organization. I am currently looking to start my next chapter as a professional in Mechanical Engineering.
