What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment where I can apply my engineering skills to innovative projects, focusing on predictive modeling and energy efficiency.

I am a dedicated mechanical engineering student at McNeese State University, where I have honed my skills in fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and predictive modeling. My academic journey has been marked by a commitment to excellence, as evidenced by my Dean's List recognition and a GPA of 3.45. I am passionate about applying engineering principles to solve real-world problems, particularly in the areas of energy efficiency and infrastructure improvement.

During my internship at Entergy Corporation, I developed validation test plans that significantly improved test coverage and reduced failure rates. My experience at Louisiana Lidar Corporation allowed me to lead the development of a high-accuracy 3D flood simulation model, which not only achieved impressive predictive accuracy but also contributed to enhanced emergency response strategies in flood-prone regions. I thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy presenting technical findings to diverse audiences, as demonstrated by my presentation at ASME IMECE 2025.
