About Me

I am a young professional originally from Maryland. I spent 4 years in Philadelphia getting my degree in Mechanical Engineering from The University of Pennsylvania. I have always had a passion and a knack for all types of math and hands-on mechanics. When I was in high school, I restored a 1966 Morris Minor which is the British car that preceded the Mini Cooper. Over the summers I would tutor kids in my neighborhood in math and work on my car. In college my favorite classes were my mechanical labs, robotics, and environmental sciences. After graduation, I moved back to the DC Area and began working at a large construction company, which I love. I spend my time at work analyzing drawings, planning building sequences, coordinating between trades, and solving constructability issues as they come up. When I'm not at work I enjoy cooking big meals and taking yoga classes. Cooking is a great way to utilize my creative side, and yoga helps me relax and refocus my energy on what's important in life. On the weekend I go for hikes in the Shenandoah Mountains or snowboarding wherever there is snow!
