FAQ
Me in a Sentence?
An insanely determined engineer that's out to create.
What Makes Me Tick?
I began swimming at the age of 7. Something about the cold, grueling, and early practices made me fall in love with an active lifestyle and the challenges that it presented. So much so, that I would continue swimming competitively until my second year of Undergrad at CU Boulder balancing practice, working 3 jobs, and school. Seeing how sports changed my life, I knew that my future would revolve around them. Paired with a knack to create I pursued finding the perfect harmony between the two. Sports Engineering.
​
My addiction to growth through consistently pushing my boundaries in the pool, in the gym, or through general life challenges is what keeps me searching for the next hill to climb.
What Do I Bring to the Table...?
As a trained Mechanical Engineer I have a solid foundation in technical applications of engineering practices. BUT, I also come from an international background having lived/worked in 5 countries, proficiency in 3 languages, I have a vast skill set of prototyping/creative problem solving skill sets and above all a fresh mind set that's ready to destroy barriers.
