About Me

I am a Senior at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU), majoring in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Systems and Controls Engineering. I have professional experience in industrial and materials manufacturing. This experience was gained through two prior engineering internships: one at Morrison Products in Cleveland, Ohio, and another at Saint-Gobain in Troy, New York.

During the school year, I am a member of the CWRU Motorsports team, which competes in the Baja SAE, an off-road racing competition where each team designs and builds its own car. I am a member of the brakes team and am designing the front brake calipers for the 2026 car. This club has given me valuable experience and skills in design, communication, project management, and fabrication.

I am also a Teaching Assistant for the Mechanical Engineering Measurements laboratory during the semester. Here, I help students improve their technical writing and data analysis abilities.

Outside of engineering, I like to spend my time giving back. As the Vice-President of Administration and Outreach for the National Residence Hall Honorary, I help uphold our two core pillars of Service and Recognition. This involves helping run volunteering events on campus and in the greater Cleveland area, and recognizing members of the community with examples of Custodian Appreciation Day and Recognition Week. On top of that, my role tasks me with setting our club’s budget, creating bonding events, and tracking membership requirements. I am also a member of the Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity, where I perform volunteer work. Other hobbies I have include painting, photography, working out, cooking, and listening to music.
