About Me

Mechanical Engineering student at the University of St. Thomas with minors in Physics and Materials Science & Engineering.

I currently work as an Undergraduate Research Assistant studying wire-arc additive manufacturing (WAAM), where I review published research and develop finite element modeling workflows in ANSYS. My academic projects have included thermal simulation of a wireless medical implant and experimental evaluation of mangrove barriers for wave-height reduction.

Beyond engineering, I have experience in engineering lab operations, student leadership, orientation programs, NCAA Division I broadcast production, and University Advancement initiatives. These experiences strengthened my ability to communicate technical information, work with people from different backgrounds, and take on new challenges.
