I am an Electrical Engineering student minoring in German Studies at North Carolina State University. I seek experiences where I can learn from and works with others who are also committed to developing cutting-edge strategies and sustainable technologies that improve quality of life and promote equity. I intend to focus my degree at the intersection of hardware and software in high-throughput systems that implement sensor and measurement technologies. My research and work experience has inspired an interest for industrial-scale automation, metrics development and optimization. I am also passionate about continuing to explore the implications that Kurt Gödel's work has for modern HPC, systems engineering, control theory and our future endeavors in computing. As a non-traditional student I offer an authentic and diversified perspective that drives my determination to grow, persevere and innovate. I continue to expand my worldview by studying the German language and cultivating an appreciation of Germanic culture and values. Currently I have achieved a level of B2 proficiency. I completed a study abroad experience this summer in Vienna. When I am not working I enjoy traveling, hiking, practicing Yoga, reading, watching movies or engaging with my more artisitic passions like photography, visual arts, music and creative writing. I am also huge fan of board games, puzzles and spatial challenges.
