About

An innovative and dedicated Mechanical Engineer, with research experience in both design-build-test and computational projects. My passion lies in pushing the boundaries of technology and expanding our collective knowledge through research and novel solutions. My journey to a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering has been enriched by my prior experiences as a remodeler and an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT). These roles have instilled in me a strong work ethic and a practical, hands-on approach to problem-solving. Balancing my academic pursuits with the responsibilities of raising three young children and managing personal research projects, I have honed my skills in time management, multitasking, and resilience. I am eager to contribute my engineering and research skills to a new career, where I can make a meaningful impact. I look forward to the opportunity to apply my unique blend of practical experience, academic knowledge, and personal resilience to new challenges.
