I'm a sophomore at the University of Florida pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Electrical Engineering.

At UF, I'm continuing to build my skills as the Media Manager for Gator BattleBots, where I've gained a year of experience designing and competing with combat robots. I also designed and built a custom LED safety display to help make bikers more visible to drivers at night.

During my internship at Impact Lighting, I helped turn Topgolf's ball-picker robots into glowing mobile targets, working directly with Topgolf's engineering team through three design iterations. I created the impact-sensing system, enclosure design, and wireless communication that let targets light up and play sound effects the instant they were hit. I also applied this impact-sensing system to a line of stationary targets, where I designed the control box housing the electronics.

My passion for engineering and hands-on problem-solving started early. In high school, I competed with VEX Robotics for 4 years, including two appearances at the VEX Robotics World Championship. As team captain for 2 years, I helped lead our team to a 7th place finish in the Skills Challenge during my sophomore year.

Beyond engineering, I am an Eagle Scout with a strong background in leadership and service. I dedicated more than 300 hours to my Eagle Scout project, which was nominated for Project of the Year, and led the construction of three rocking chair benches and two end tables for the community. I hold 23 merit badges, 81 service hours, 132 hiking miles, and 78 camping nights, including an 80-mile backpacking trek at Philmont.

I enjoy solving technical challenges, leading teams, and building innovative systems that combine mechanical, electrical, and creative problem-solving skills.
