I was born and raised in Wentzville, MO and graduated Timberland High School in 2023. I am currently enrolled as a senior in the UMSL/WashU Joint-Engineering Program and I expect to graduate August 2027. I am pursuing mechanical engineering because I have an affinity for design and the hard sciences. I want to use the skills I've learned from my projects to design something that benefits the world. On top of engineering, I love listening to music and making it with my accordion. Tinkering with my accordion was my introduction to mechanical design.
