Bio

I'm a mechanical and manufacturing engineering student at Grand Rapids Community College, transferring to Grand Valley State University to finish my bachelor's degree. I was interning at Knape & Vogt Manufacturing over summer 26', where I've worked on plant layout documentation and a facility-wide forklift route mapping project, and I do contracted engineering work for Waste2Nano, a startup building a trailer-mounted waste heat recovery and wastewater treatment system, where I handle thermal/hydraulic calculations and modeling in Fusion 360.
 

I came to engineering on a non-traditional path, which shows in how I work: hands-on, practical, and focused on getting things right. I founded AEGIS, a campus organization focused on introducing students to manufacturing, engineering, and serve as President of the Rotaract Club of GRCC. Outside of that, I'm usually working on vehicles, fishing, or building out car audio systems.
