Senior @ Taylor University
I make things that (usually) don't break.
For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated with how the world works. That curiosity led to an early interest in physics and a creative drive to build things. Somewhat related, a guiding principle or motto I have for my life is to "do hard things." Over the past few years this has impacted both my personal and professional life. Spending my summer in Colorado climbing 14ers (and other less tall mountains), building a spacecraft thermal model from scratch, and traveling to Italy as a leader for over 50 students on a study-abroad trip are just a few examples. Overall, I hope to be the sort of person who is always up to face a tough challenge or learn something new. My core competencies are mechanical design, thermal analysis/design, and electromechanical/optomechanical system integration. When I'm not building something new, you can find me exploring the outdoors, enjoying a good board game with friends, or playing racket sports (Tennis, Pickleball, and Badminton).
