Besides my required coursework in hydrostatics, hydrodynamics, basic mechanical engineering and ship design, I am pursuing a minor in Materials Science to better understand optimizing the strength and efficiency of my designs with a focus on carbon composites. Additionally, I'm pursuing a minor in Women's Gender Studies to supplement my advocacy for women engineers within the Society of Women Engineers chapter at the University of Michigan. Outside of my studies I participate in the UM:: Autonomy Project Team on campus to pursue an interest in hands-on manufacturing, and have created a student group dedicated to advocating for women's sports on campus.
