ABOUT
As an undergraduate, I have balanced a rigorous course load while also completing two semester-long co-ops. During my first coop, I worked as a Quality Control Inspector for a precision machine shop where we manufactured components for aerospace applications. For my second coop, I worked under a National Institute of Health grant that allowed me to conduct research on new superconducting material. In addition, I have been acting as a manufacturing engineer at a startup company founded at Wentworth's Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center for the four years that I attended school. I have developed abilities in both 3-D design and manufacturing and am very excited to start working with newly developed additive manufacturing technologies.
