Who I am

Where I
Come From

I have a deep passion for traveling and backpacking. I aspire to extend this journey across our country and other continents.

My time in Scouts significantly influenced my personal development. Here I was given the opportunity to lead, contribute to my community, and earn the rank of Eagle.

The context in which I come from makes me who I am today. Growing up on a farm, I learned the value of resiliency and hard work. I learned community and leadership through Boy Scouts and by involving myself in various clubs. I pushed my boundaries by attending a rigorous residential high school that presented a more challenging environment. During my free time, I engage in many small projects that have allowed me to combine my academic and practical skills, creating a source of enjoyment and pride.

Over time I developed a passion for designing and continuous improvement. Growing up in a revitalized space era sparked a passion for space technology. The start of a new manufacturing and engineering renaissance fueled a dream to work in the aerospace manufacturing industry. The potential to make space more accessible through the development of more affordable space technology is one I find exciting. I hope to make a lasting impact in this dynamic field of advanced manufacturing.

My time at the Academy grew my love for STEM. Here I learned to be challenged and push my limits.

New Castle, IN

Industrial Engineering Intern

Crown Equipment Corp.

During my sophomore summer, I took an internship at Crown Equipment, a forklift manufacturer. I worked under a mentor in the fabrication engineering department, which included a tooling room, die presses, and robotic laser cutters. I was given a large amount of personal freedom in completing my projects. Projects I worked on often included data collection, quality studies, Six Sigma guidelines, and time cycle studies. These projects were small and numerous, often focused on understanding and improving existing floor operations through tool design and data analysis. Large data studies and part quality studies were among the most impactful. Tools used included NX, Excel, and machining equipment. Learned engineering skills and the manufacturing environment.

New Castle, IN

Industrial Engineering Intern

Crown Equipment Corp.

In my final year of undergraduate studies, I chose to return to Crown, motivated by the significant autonomy granted and strong company culture. This internship differed greatly from my prior experience, characterized by the heightened scale and complexity of my projects. I assumed leadership roles in initiatives aimed at implementing new processes and enhancing floor operations through system design, business and engineering studies, and tool fabrication. I led a primary project budgeted at $100,000 to design an automated system to replace manual operations. I was given the opportunity and responsibility to lead projects through brainstorming, budgeting, design, construction, and implementation. I utilized tools such as NX, AutoCAD, Excel, SAP, and robotic programming to execute these tasks effectively. Here I learned project management, communication, and system design.
