I earned my Bachelor of Science from San Diego State University. Specializing in key engineering principles like statics, dynamics, thermodynamics, and fluid dynamics, I honed my skills as the Design Lead for the NASA Lunabotics Competition at SDSU. There, I spearheaded a team in the creation of a remote-controlled mining robot, showcasing my proficiency in mechanical systems, 3D printing, rapid prototyping, and effective collaboration within cross-functional teams.

Complementing my engineering expertise, my minor in Political Science with a focus on International Relations equipped me with strong research and analytical capabilities. Engaging in critical discourse and analyzing global events expanded my problem-solving approach to encompass a comprehensive and interdisciplinary mindset.

In the professional arena, I accumulated hands-on experience as an Engineering Drawing Editor and Analyst at Survival Systems International, where I utilize my AutoCAD skills to produce precise engineering drawings and maintained meticulous records. My commitment to quality documentation was evident in the creation of hardware change reports.

Furthering my diverse engineering industry exposure while in community college, I undertook an internship at NASA Ames Research Center, as a systems engineering intern. Notably, my involvement in optimizing runway traffic at congested U.S. airports underscored my adaptability and ability to excel in dynamic settings.
