Bio


Prior to joining the Design Group in the Mechanical Engineering Department, I spent almost 20 years in industry working primarily in the fields of Sustainable Mobility, Robotics and Consumer Electronics. From building prototype vehicles at Tesla to the original Alexa devices at Amazon and high altitude aircrafts along the way at Facebook, I’ve had the privilege to contribute to many “firsts” in my career. I am passionate about project-based learning and creating opportunities for students to be part of crafting their own educational journey.
