Dedicated and driven mechanical engineering student passionate about leadership and innovation in STEM. With a strong foundation in both technical engineering and interpersonal management skills, I thrive at the intersection of design, problem-solving, and team leadership.I’ve gained valuable experience through diverse roles:- Former NASA Intern on the Low-Cost Optical Terminal (LCOT) project, where I specialized in thermal engineering and software development under the Space Communication and Navigation (SCaN) Program. This role gave me insight into the technical, interpersonal, and management aspects of large-scale projects.- Project Management Intern at The Whiting-Turner Contracting Company, blending technical expertise with effective team management on high-profile construction projects.- Undergraduate Teaching Fellow for UMD's ENES100, mentoring first-year students in autonomous vehicle design while sharpening my technical and leadership skills.- Subtractive Manufacturing Technician at Terrapin Works, where I advanced my fabrication skills, completing a capstone project to design and build an air engine, and now assist with customer orders and research projects.- Clark Scholar, contributing to a service-learning project addressing micro-mobility challenges on campus by designing and prototyping charging stations for electric scooters and bikes.- Ambassador for UMD’s engineering program, representing the School of Engineering and helping prospective students navigate their academic journeys.My leadership experience extends to the Dean’s Student Advisory Council, where I collaborate on initiatives to enhance the student experience in the A. James Clark School of Engineering.As a dedicated problem-solver and collaborative team member, I am constantly seeking opportunities to apply engineering disciplines to real-world challenges at the crossroads of business, leadership, and community impact.
