(Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers)
2015 - 2019
Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, Business Minor:
- Favorite courses were those that provided loose guidelines to allow for unique approaches to problem solving and creating solutions; namely, the Technical Entrepreneurship course where my team and I designed a regenerative brake. This experience provided me with a new perspective of mechanical engineering and prompted my decision to obtain a Masters in Technical Entrepreneurship where more creativity was fostered.
Other Experiences:
Radio City Music Hall (Winter 2019 - 2020):
A behind the scenes look into the seasonal Christmas Spectacular production. In my time here, I was involved in maintaining and creating the necessary equipment for this show.
Ted’s Fishing Station (Summers 2012-2019):
Orchestrated all aspects of operation including; small engine repair, skiff and site maintenance, safety, training and scheduling, resulting in no accidents on site, fewer mechanical breakdowns, and improved profitability.
