About

Structural Engineering graduate student at the University of Washington, passionate about designing resilient and sustainable infrastructure. My academic foundation is rooted in advanced structural analysis, reinforced concrete and steel design, and sustainable construction methods. I’ve had the opportunity to apply my knowledge during hands-on internships, where I contributed to BOQs, site coordination, and structural modeling using tools like SAP2000 and AutoCAD. These experiences helped me connect theory to real-world challenges, working alongside multidisciplinary teams to deliver practical solutions. Whether it's optimizing a design for efficiency or ensuring safety through code-compliant detailing, I’m driven by the impact that thoughtful engineering can have on communities. I'm currently seeking internship opportunities where I can contribute meaningfully to structural design projects while continuing to learn from experienced professionals. Let’s connect if you’re working on exciting infrastructure projects—or if you simply want to talk bridges, buildings, or how structural engineering can shape a better future.
