About
I am a Mechanical Engineering graduate from The George Washington University with a wide range of experience in areas, such as design, analysis, manufacturing and experiment design. My core strengths are in strategic thinking, planning, and execution. In addition, I possess strong written and verbal communication skills, and leadership skills. These strengths have been demonstrated throughout my career from my start as a design lead on my university's AIAA Design Build Fly Team, to my current role serving as project manager for my CAPSTONE senior design project. I have utilized my strategic thinking, planning and execution skills to forecast, plan and lead myself and my teams to strive and attain our goals in every endeavor we undertake. In addition to my core competencies, I am capable of outputting well-researched and highly detailed technical reports and utilizing python to visualize and analyze data. As a design lead with GWU DBF, I utilized programs like SolidWorks and AutoCAD to design components for the team's competition aircraft. I also worked as part of the manufacturing team to successfully build the first flying aircraft in our team's 5-year history. I have since worked as a research fellow studying Bio-fluid dynamics, as an intern for Chrysler improving vehicle quality, and as a team lead for numerous academic and extracurricular projects. I hope to use the skills, and knowledge I have acquired during my time at GWU to contribute to the aerospace and automotive industries and work on groundbreaking technology.
