About

I'm currently a structural design engineer at Magnusson Klemencic Associates, working in the existing buildings group. I recently completed my Master of Engineering in Structural Engineering at the University of Michigan, along with my Master of Business Administration and my Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering at the University of Cincinnati. I have gained analysis, design, and management experiences in the energy, industrial, commercial, residential, and government sectors from multiple internships prior. I'm well-versed modeling softwares such as Revit, AutoCAD and FormIT, analysis softwares such as ETABS, SAP2000, VisualAnalysis, Tekla Tedds, RISA3D, RAM, and other various design/analysis softwares. I have a passion for understanding and designing complicated, economical, and environmentally friendly structures for new and existing buildings with a multitude of materials. I plan to work on projects that have significant impacts to the community they represent.
