• OUTREACH: Organized and hosted events throughout the year for prospective and grade school students both on campus and off. These events included tours, engineering activities, robotic competitions, and project.
• TRAINING: Developed and aided in teaching engineering curriculum and projects for grade school girls through the Femineers and Women in Engineering programs and for K-12 students for the PLTW program.
• PUBLIC SPEAKING: Gave outreach presentations to inspire kids and share past experiences with PLTW, VEX robotics, and internship experiences as well as to promote these programs to local school districts.
• KEY ACCOMPLISHMENT: Provided thousands of young students, particularly young girls, an introduction to engineering by sharing personal experience, teaching them, and having them work hands-on.

• ROBOTICS: Refined the ball joint housing design for repeated stacks of Stewart Platforms called Assemblers. Ran a series of pose demonstrations to validate the operational reach of the serialized parallel robots..
• MECHANISM DESIGN: Designed a genderless gripper mechanism to allow the Stewart Platforms in Assemblers to connect and disconnect easily. Developed this locking mechanism to be engaged through a series of sliding.
• FABRICATION: Carried the genderless gripper through CAD design into 3D printed prototyping and verified that the plate slide and gear driving components were operational.
• KEY ACCOMPLISHMENT: Designed a low-profile genderless interface that allowed the Assemblers platforms to modularly connect.

• REAL-TIME CONTROL: Established real-time control through the Speedgoat Realtime Machine and Simulink to control the linear actuators on the NASA Intelligent Jigging and Assembly Robot (NINJAR). In addition, aided in.
• INTEGRATION: Integration of the large Ultramotion Linear Actuators responsible for motion by managing the wiring, tuning their motion, and establishing serial communication to execute controlled motions.
• TESTING: Working in a team to support testing operations by CADing and 3D printing components, soldering circuit boards, physical assembly, Vicon camera calibrations, and workspace prep.
• KEY ACCOMPLISHMENT: Performed Ground Demonstration 2.0 of the Commercial Infrastructure for Robotic Assembly and Services (CIRAS) project where the NINJAR positioned and held truss joints in place while a truss was.
