While at Tesla, I worked as a ME Intern for the Vehicle Interiors Department. I contributed to the design work for the Highland Model 3 Center Console. This entailed work starting with CAD development, DFM, prototyping, validation testing, 

My first internship experience was at Inkbox, a startup based in Toronto that manufactured temporary tattoos using a formulation based on Genipin. In this role, I was encouraged to find challenges and areas for improvement and lead projects to ultimately help improve the quality of the final product, and improve the time to fulfillment for each order that was received. 

During the summer after first year I applied to be a Sales Associate for Engineering Stores as a part my goal to be more involved in the SkuleTM community. Since then I earned the position of Manager and have hired and led a team of 4 to launch half a dozen new initiatives. More details on the projects and my impact as Manager can be found under the Business Section of my portfolio. 

In addition to getting involved in Stores, I also decided to join a design team. In the winter semester of 2020, I began the recruitment process for Blue Sky. After several workshops and a final test, I was selected to join the team and begin work as a Mechanical Designer in the Mech Sub-Team. 

Since then I have been working on several projects, designing the rear trailing and motor arms as part of the rear suspension subsystem. I also designed a modular latching mechanism that is meant to keep the top aerobody of the car secure and reduce warping while in motion. More details on these projects will be listed under Engineering Experience when the projects are completed. 

As the Director of Events for Mech Club I am in charge of coordinating and hosting a variety of events during the school year. The events include social events like game nights and mixers, but also panels and other informative sessions. 

Most recently I planned the "WHY PEY?!" Panel as a means for students to get in touch with students who have already completed or are currently completing their PEY (Professional Experience Year) and learn from their experiences. 

As a mentor, I help two first year students transition to the responsibilities of university life. I conduct a weekly check in to make sure that they are doing ok, and do my best to share my knowledge with them. 

My time with the beautiful game of basketball started in 2012. Since then I have been on twelve different teams, all varying in the amount of success, but all teaching me the same lesson. Basketball is a team sport, built on communication, trust, selflessness, and dedication. My last time playing in a competitive league was in high school as a Starter of the Senior Varsity Basketball Team for Webber Academy. I played the position of a stretch three, specializing as a 3-point shooter. During that season I shot approximately 85 threes over 25 games, helping to close out the season with 22 points and 7 threes to deliver the first championship our team had won. 

Knowing how much that experience meant to me and the power of being a member of a team, I continued my love for the game as a player for the Eng Sci Basketball Team.
