## About

```text
At HDR, I design substations and substation upgrades according to client needs and technical standards. I previously created panel schedules in Excel and Revit and reviewed design scopes to confirm requirements were met.

For my senior design project, MARS Avionics, I designed the electrical system for a rocket competing in the International Rocket Engineering Competition. I selected components and designed a circuit for the Mechanical Engineering team’s rocket control needs, then designed a PCB in KiCad to fit inside the rocket.

As a Teacher’s Assistant at South Dakota School of Mines & Technology, I designed labs covering electronics and electrical engineering fundamentals. I also assisted students during practical sessions and graded lab reports.

At KTEQ Radio Station, I contributed to station operations, organized meetings and a live music show, and later managed and trained DJs. I also recruited and trained new management members and helped renovate the station and its operations.
