About Me

I have recently graduated with a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. My background includes a strong foundation in mechanical design, structural analysis, and automation, alongside coursework in product design using human-centered design principles. My academic and professional experiences have provided me with a well-rounded skill set across research and development, manufacturing engineering, and mechanical design.

After completing my undergraduate degree, I chose to pursue a course-based master’s program with a focus on thermal energy systems. In my first semester, I took a class co-taught by industry experts with director and VP-level experience in product design. This sparked a passion for using the creative process to drive innovation in design. As a result, I tailored my remaining coursework to include topics such as Applied Thermal and Structural Finite Element Analysis, Advanced Industrial Automation, and Advanced Material Selection. Through these courses, I have gained proficiency in steady-state and transient structural and thermal analysis using ANSYS, fracture mechanics, corrosion, and design for manufacturing. Combined with my undergraduate coursework and industry experience, these skills have prepared me to tackle new challenges in mechanical design.

Beyond academics, I have gained valuable hands-on engineering experience through internships and co-ops. My work has included developing test methods, leading cross-functional teams, procuring equipment for automated manufacturing lines, designing tooling for production, and more. Additionally, I have experience in CAD modeling, incorporating the fundamentals of GD&T and structural integration across various projects.
