What if every engineering project began with a story? Every challenge is rooted in the experiences of real people, each with unique narratives, and as an aspiring engineer studying at the University of South Florida, I am passionate about crafting solutions that not only solve problems but also make a meaningful impact on lives.From an early age, my fascination with science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) has inspired me to seize every opportunity whether it's tackling advanced coursework, spearheading student-led initiatives, or diving into hands-on projects. I have thrived in leadership roles across various clubs and organizations, and from competing in robotics and science competitions to serving in production at my church, each experience fuels my ambition to grow, innovate, and inspire others.I am particularly drawn to the intersection of problem-solving and creativity where I can merge my love for science with my passion for art to develop solutions to real-world challenges. With experience in mechanical engineering and software development, I enjoy designing tools that not only function seamlessly and streamline processes but also create engaging and intuitive user experiences. I am proficient in CAD/CAM tools such as Autodesk Inventor and SolidWorks as well as programming languages like Swift, JavaScript, Kotlin, HTML, CSS, and C++, and I am dedicated to deepening my knowledge in every aspect of the product development process and am always seeking to learn more.Beyond engineering, my technical skills complement my passion for storytelling through filmmaking. I have had the privilege of working on all aspects of the film production process from writing to editing and everything in between and have contributed to three award-winning feature-length films alongside many short films and personal projects I hope to bring to life. These experiences have given me invaluable opportunities to express truth in creative and engaging ways, and they continue to fuel my passion for crafting meaningful narratives through both art and technology.I am on a mission to explore the intersection of mechanical engineering, software development, and creative storytelling. As I pursue internships in these fields, I look forward to collaborating with like-minded individuals who share my vision for building a better tomorrow. Let’s connect and explore the possibilities together!
