BIO
My experience with engineering has been enlightening. I like to learn about every facet of design and constantly strive to reach for more. My education at UMaine thus far has been a fantastic introduction into engineering and I'm very excited to see where I may end up. My favorite experiences in my education and growing career have been working within a team and developing trust in one another. If you want to learn more about my experience, portfolio or how we can collaborate on an upcoming project, please reach out to me.
