Aspiring mechanical engineer with expertise in design and project management.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated mechanical engineering student with a strong foundation in design and project management. My experience as a Program Manager and instructor has honed my skills in communication, leadership, and curriculum development. I thrive in environments where I can foster critical thinking and collaboration, helping individuals and teams achieve their goals.
As the CEO and Founder of LabRat Studios, I have successfully designed custom 3D-printed parts, collaborating closely with clients to meet their specific technical needs. My role as Lead Designer on a senior project involved leading a team to create a modular electrical connector, where I applied advanced technologies such as SolidWorks and 3D printing to bring our vision to life. My research experience in nanofabrication has further solidified my analytical skills and attention to detail.
