About

Ever since I was little, I have been captivated by science and technology. Growing up, things like visiting OMSI with my family and watching science programs on PBS fueled an insatiable curiosity in me. In high school, working and competing and celebrating on a robotics team helped me realize my passion for engineering. Since then, my time in my first internship taught me how to integrate my skills into a work environment. I have worked as a software developer intern at Autodesk on a project called Synthesis which I hoped has given back to the robotics program which inspired and taught me. Pouring blood, sweat, and tears into robotics and working through challenges at Autodesk and at OSU, I have found pleasure and pride in working through engineering puzzles. My engineering degree will open opportunities to use my developing skills and understanding to overcome complicated challenges. I also want my work to be a part of the effort to make the world a better place for both its current and future inhabitants. While there is something incredibly rewarding and exciting in figuring out solutions to problems, it is even more fulfilling when those solutions help others. I do not know where I will end up, but I would love to use my new skills and experience to volunteer as a robotics team mentor and teach and inspire students like my robotics mentors did for me. Regardless, I know I will be doing something I love while helping the world I love.
