Now in my fourth year of the five-year Mechanical Engineering and Management program at McMaster University, I love to conceptualize solutions that tackle engineering challenges–and then bring them to life. Whether it’s optimizing a design or developing a more efficient process, the engineer in me analyzes every aspect of an assignment and dreams big. That said, I rely on my practical business sense and can-do attitude to make the most of available resources.

Passionate about innovation in mechanical design, I am actively engaged in the McMaster Aerospace Team. I lead the Payload & Landing Gear sub-team in optimizing materials, weight distribution, resistance, and traction to achieve consistent performance and minimize the effects of impact on landing for a 15-foot unmanned fixed-wing aircraft carrying a sizeable payload. Last year, as a member of the fuselage sub-team, I contributed to the 3D modelling and manufacturing of fuselage sections–and conducted troubleshooting and repairs at the international SAE Aero Design East Competition in Lakeland, Florida.
