Growing up near a world-class amusement park sparked a fascination with mechanical design that has been with me for my entire life. As I approach my second year studying mechanical engineering at The Ohio State University, I have my sights set on proving myself as a valuable creative and intellectual asset to the themed entertainment and attractions industries.While I have demonstrated active industry involvement through the Students in Themed Entertainment conference and my past employment at Cedar Point Amusement Park, I constantly seek unique and exciting opportunities to broaden my scope and develop my skills.
