As a passionate mechanical engineer with a Master's in Engineering Management from Duke University and a Bachelor's in Civil Engineering from North Carolina State University, I am excited to share my knowledge in structural engineering and mechanics. With over three years of hands-on experience in residential structural design, I understand the complexities of real-world applications and can convey core concepts effectively. My approach centers on fostering a supportive learning environment that encourages students to engage deeply with the material, particularly in structural steel design and reinforced concrete. I relate well to college-aged students, having navigated these challenges myself, and I am dedicated to helping them succeed. My experience as an ambassador for the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying has further fueled my passion for mentoring future engineers. I look forward to guiding students through the intricacies of engineering principles, empowering them to become confident problem solvers.
