Bio

First year Masters student studying Aeronautics and Astronautics at Stanford University with experience in many programs such as Python, MATLAB, EES, NX, Abaqus, SolidWorks Simulation, Arduino, Microsoft Office, LabView, and Mathcad. Possesses a CSWP (Certified SolidWorks Professional) License and proficient in all mechanical engineering subjects including Thermodynamics, Solid Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, Dynamics, Finite Element Analysis, Heat Transfer, Aerodynamics, and Orbital Mechanics. I got my Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, CO. I have prior work experience as a part of the Metal Structures/Seals Design & Analysis group within Propulsion Systems at Northrop Grumman in Promontory, Utah. I completed joint volume calculations for thermal analysis, generated manufacturing review dispositions and modeled forward skirt components on multiple programs such as SLS for the Artemis program. I also have been a peer tutor in the subjects of Thermodynamics, Statics, Solid Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, Dynamics, Finite Element Analysis, Feedback Systems, and Machine Design. I am currently seeking an internship or co-op experience in an Aerospace Engineering position.
