I am currently a 4th year mechanical engineering student at the University of Rhode Island. My parents, both educators, taught me to excel academically and ultimately built my competence within mechanical engineering. My early experiences involved tools and construction of assorted projects and an interest how things were created. My understanding of applied mechanical engineering was expanded through an independent study in automation and control systems. Additionally, the skills I developed as a Resident Advisor at the University of Rhode Island helped me build communication and teamwork experience that will be an asset to my work as an engineer and member of a company. Outside of school and work, I enjoy hiking, bird watching, skiing, volleyball, cooking, and various types of product design. I am excited to utilize LinkedIn as a resource for identifying a rewarding position in the Mechanical Engineering field following my graduation in the spring of 2022.
