About

Hello! I worked as an Integration Engineer at Epic Systems for a year. While there I worked with hospitals and third-party vendors to connect software securely and accurately through interfaces. I acted as a project manager and advisor to the medical facilities, coordinating schedules and making sure the project stayed on track. I graduated with a BS in Aerospace Engineering at CU Boulder. During my time at Boulder, I have been a part of many projects that have built both my technical and interpersonal skills. I was the project manager for my senior project group, where we worked closely with two other teams to construct a portable airborne wind energy station. I also worked as the orbital engineer on a Smallsat mission proposal for a satellite that studied gravity waves in the upper atmosphere. These projects, along with many others, have been the highlight of my educational career. Over three summers I have worked as a camp counselor at the YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park. The first two summers I was a general camp counselor and the last summer I was the Inclusion Coordinator. During this time, I learned to work with a wide variety of coworkers and children alike. While I was the Inclusion Coordinator, I oversaw the training of inclusion counselors and assigned them to work 1-on-1 with campers. In my free time, I am an officer in an Improvisational Comedy club on CU Boulder's campus and I enjoy hiking, trail running, reading, writing, playing the piano and organ, and dungeons and dragons.
