About

I recently graduated with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from UW-Madison. I am interested in the intersection of art and technology and hope to combine my skills in engineering, design and animation towards a career in the robotics or entertainment industry, including theme park attraction development. Currently I hope to secure an internship or full time job to gain work experience and progress me towards my goals. I have been involved in group and individual projects such as Wisconsin Robotics and UW Badger Solar Racing, where I designed and manufactured mechatronic parts to integrate electronical components, mainly batteries, with the chassis of the vehicle. Additionally, I have leadership roles in Badgers in Themed Entertainment, UW RoboMaster, and Cinemadison. I am versed in 3d design software, including: - SolidWorks - Onshape - Siemens NX - Autodesk Inventor I also have experience with programs such as blender and HitFilm editing software, and costume design and fabrication.
