A bit about myself

I'm a 3rd year Mechanical Engineering student pursuing my Bachelors Degree at Georgia Tech. I have a passion for learning and value the implementation of my coursework into the engineering I do outside of class. My natural curiosity makes me a passionate worker with strong adaptability, collaborative, and leadership skills.

Interdisciplinary Collaboration

Having worked on many different project teams that call for a variety of skillsets, I know the importance of working well with those who specialize in different fields. Over the summer at SpaceX, I was able to develop this skill even more in a formal workplace environment. I currently collaborate the most on RoboNAV, where I am Lead Engineer, and responsible for delegating between mechanical, electrical, drone, science, and software sub teams. This skill has not only lead to more successful and timely projects, but has also allowed me to diversify my own skillset, and understand more about areas of study that are peripheral to my own.

Engineering Mindset

Throughout my time as a student at Georgia Tech, I've learned so much more about being able to interpret the proper process required to make sure projects are properly executed. The development of my engineering based mindset has allowed me to respect data driven results, and seek out optimized outcomes. I have since been able to refine my design strategies and pair industry level design processes with the engineering intuition I have spent years honing to achieve even better results.

Leadership

I believe being a good leader is more than being good at something; it's also about being able to be able to inspire of a group of people while staying approachable. This is something I've learned to do on RoboNAV and Wreck Racing where my experiences as Lead Engineer and Training & Safety Lead has allowed to me give existing members the necessary communication and inspiration to keep members going while also effectively training new members to give them the experience they signed up for. Additionally, my leadership experience on each team has taught me lots about feeling confident in having my voice heard on the "under the hood" details of running a functioning project team.

Independent Thinking

I know that engineering involves being able to make good decisions in an iterative process without having to consult others at every step of the process. I have a personal eagerness to learn that makes me an excellent independent worker. This motivation incentivizes me to be able to make engineering decisions on my own without hindering the progress of my team. That being said, I highly value feedback and collaboration, and am not afraid to ask questions!
