👩🏻🔧Hi there! I'm Melissa, a Fourth-Year Mechanical Engineering student at the University of Toronto, with minors in Mechatronics and Energy. My passions lie in manufacturing, thermal engineering, and product design.⚙️I actively participate in design teams and take on personal projects to gain hands-on experiences and technical skills. I am adaptable, a fast learner, and will excel in fast-paced environments. I like to leave things better than I found them, and I have a keen eye for innovation and improvement. I enjoy hiking, running, dancing, playing the guitar, and anything matcha.💡I enjoy exploring foreign territories to expand my breadth of knowledge. Reach out to me at melissamlq.ma@mail.utoronto.ca and check out my portfolio at https://www.melissama.ca/. Always down to chat and connect!
