Mechanical Engineer
Senior @ Taylor University
Every since I was a little kid, I have been fascinated with how the world works. This led to an early interest in physics, and a creative impulse to build things. Somewhat related, a guiding principle or motto I have for my life is "do hard things". Over the past few years this has meant climbing my first 14er after only being in Colorado for 3 weeks, building a spacecraft thermal model from scratch, and travleing to Italy for the first time as a student leader for 60 students on a study abroad trip. Overall, I hope to be the sort of person who is always up to face a tough challenge or learn something new.
Studying Mechanical Engineering with minors in Mathematics, Physics, and Honors. Completing coursework and projects in mechanical design, manufacturing methods, control systems, advanced physics, and simulation tools.
Planning academic events for current Honors Guild students. Coordinating and facilitating academic speaking events for university faculty and guest speakers. Served as a student leader for study abroad in Italy (J-Term 2025).
Assisting professors with grading and lab facilitation. Leading review sessions as needed. Courses include University Physics I & II, Modern Physics, Intro to Engineering, Statics, and Thermodynamics.
Mechanical design for battery charging R&D, autonomy/GNC systems, and drivetrain components at an off-road EV startup.
Thermal management of an orbital robotics system. Owning thermal model development and thermal/vacuum requirements definition. Designing mechanism for active heat dissipation and performing TVAC testing and thermal simulation to validate design.
Mechanical design for photonics R&D and electronics packaging at the world's leading quantum computing company.
