SUMMARY
Driven Mechanical Engineering student whose photography skills, interpersonal skills, advanced knowledge of computer
programs and ability to quickly learn new concepts have led to an interest in engineering design.
EDUCATION
University of Massachusetts Amherst May 2017
Bachelors of Science in Mechanical Engineering
- GPA: 3.34
- Dean’s List
- Chancellor’s Scholarship
- Mackey Family Engineering Scholarship
RELEVANT COURSES
- Heat Transfer, System Dynamics, Design of Mechanical Assemblies, Design of Mechanical Components,
Manufacturing Processes, Intro. To Electrical Engineering, Fluid Mechanics, Dynamics, Thermodynamics
CLASS PROJECTS
Design of Mechanical Components Fall 2015
Bracket Design Problem Proposed by Sensata Technologies
- Designed a mounting bracket for a combination Micro-Electric Mechanical System sensor that has enough compliance
to dampen shock from an ATV by using SolidWorks
- Machined the bracket manually by using various, bending, milling, and drilling processes
- Utilized finite element analysis software (ANSYS) to predict the performance of the steel and design of the bracket
based on a rendering of the CAD schematic in SolidWorks and tested the bracket using quasi-static loading on an
Instron machine
- Marketed the design in a poster presentation and won the most investors in the class, obtained a deflection that was 9
percent difference from the optimal
Intro. To Electrical Engineering Fall 2015
Design of an Autonomous Vehicle
- Utilized wiring of breadboards, op-amps, transistors, motors, and sensors to create an electrical base for an autonomous
vehicle to compete in a collision test with other autonomous vehicles
- Programmed an Arduino board to work with an ultrasonic sensor and an RC car motor to perform maneuvers and
obstacle avoidance
- Stripped apart an RC car to use the chassis and motor as a base for the autonomous vehicle, and used 3D printed parts
to support this base.
- Competed in the obstacle avoidance tests and ran for 10 minutes
SKILLS AND ABILITIES
- Proficient in ANSYS, SolidWorks, Arduino, machine shop tools, MatLab, Pro Engineer Wildfire, and Microsoft
Office, BLS licensed
INTERESTS
- LGTBQ ally and social justice, photography: nature, landscape, and wildlife
