About Me

I love to collaborate and problem solve: providing technical support for customers, both in a retail and in a small business context, has been some of the most rewarding experiences in the professional field.

When I was in the sound engineering program, our group projects were where I flourished, being able to bounce ideas off of other people invigorates my creativity.

I am giddy with anticipation for the group projects I will be working on in the Electrical Engineering program at the University of Minnesota.
