What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters innovation and collaboration, offering growth opportunities.

I am a dedicated professional with a strong background in engineering management and entrepreneurship. Currently, I serve as a Research Assistant at The Pennsylvania State University, where I conduct data analysis and support research initiatives with a precision threshold of 95%. My experience includes developing research papers, presentations, and reports, collaborating closely with my team to refine methodologies and project goals.

As the Founder and CEO of The T-Shirt Company, I successfully launched a custom T-shirt business, designing over 50 unique products and increasing sales by 30% through targeted marketing strategies. I led an 8-person team to establish an e-commerce platform, optimizing project management and enhancing team collaboration. My commitment to innovation was recognized when I became a finalist in the 2022 Homepreneur Awards for my contributions to women's entrepreneurship.

In addition to my entrepreneurial ventures, I have directed multiple projects, including the design of a wearable exoskeleton chair and an intravenous fluid level indicator. My technical skills are complemented by certifications in project management and proficiency in various reporting and collaboration tools, making me a versatile asset to any organization.
