Design Teams
As someone who loves to build and design, it should come as no surprise I enjoy spending time with like-minded people, collaborating to create something great.
International Rocket Engineering Competition
Case Rocket Team (2025-Present)
Aerostructures Subteam (2025)
Coming from my background in FRC, delving into the world of rocket design gave both the opportunity to learn new skills and apply old ones. Whether it be providing a new perspective on how to most efficiently machine and weight relief bulkheads thanks to my experience with hard weight limits in robotics to figuring out how to perform Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and hand calculations to ensure parts would not break under loads orders of magnitudes larger than my past experiences, the Case Rocket Team provided an excellent platform to further refine my engineering skills.
FIRST Robotics Competition
Team 341, Miss Daisy (2021-2025)
Team Captain (2024-2025)
Mechanical Subsystem Lead (2022-2024)
From how to cut a box tube to length to how to lead and manage a team of 70+, my time in FIRST was extremely fruitful, teaching me the many technical and soft skills needed to succeed in the world of engineering. While the success of the team has been incredibly exciting, having five event wins, twelve robot awards, and even winning FIRST's only individual award, I have found the most rewarding part of my experience to be the teaching of younger members on my team. Whether through a CAD curriculum I created, or simply giving small tips during build season, being able to pass down the knowledge I have gained over the years from older members and my own experiences has by far been the best part of my time with FIRST. Especially with all the responsibilities I had accumulated by my senior year, teaching skills from how to render in Solidworks to set up our team's pit display or manage our team's part order sheets, I feel I have set my team up for continued success.
