I am in my fourth year of Mechatronics Engineering and Management at McMaster University, and have 20 months of co-op experience at companies such as Bell Canada and Rockwell Automation. I am currently spending a semester abroad at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden where I am taking courses from their Masters of Aerospace and Masters of Interactive Media Technology programs. After my exchange semester, I will be spending 12 weeks in Menlo Park working as a Software Engineering Intern with Meta. I am interested in software and robotics, and hope to work in the aerospace industry after graduation.
My enrolment in a unique program that combines software, electrical and mechanical engineering with business courses allows me to explore opportunities in multiple disciplines. I am involved with several engineering clubs including the McMaster Mechatronics Society, McMaster Makers club, McMaster Women in Engineering, and McMaster EngiQueers. The photo shown here is a prototype of the bluetooth Arduino car workshop I taught as a part of McMaster Makers.
I am the goalie on the McMaster women's varsity water polo team. We won the silver medal at the 2017 National Collegiate Water Polo Championships. I was awarded team MVP for the 2019 season, and have been given the Marauder Scholar Award for academic excellence while participating on a varsity sport every year I have competed on the team.
As a tutor with over 7 years of experience, I've had the opportunity to work with several students ranging from kindergarteners to university students. I also enjoy volunteering as a mentor at events that get young students interested in science and engineering such as Go ENG Girl and STEM Hacks. As an advocate for diversity in engineering at McMaster, I have acted as a mentor at multiple events hosted by Women in Engineering and EngiQueers.
Below are some projects I've completed in high school, university, and side projects
For the 2021 McMaster Designathon, my team and I designed a product to make cleaning up cans more fun. We followed the engineering design process and ended with a fully functional 3D model. Video pitch of our product can be found here
I led a team of 3 other engineering students to analyze the affects of Covid-19 in Code Red Regions of Hamilton, and what could be done to improve the current situation. Our solution won third place out of over 60 teams.
I design and laser cut custom pieces for my friends and family. This includes keychains for clubs and teams as well as other one-off items. Photos of my designs can be found here
As a capstone project for AP Computer Science, I built Space Invaders using Java. View the project here!
I led a team of 4 engineering students through the engineering design process to design and build a prototype of a garbage disposal system for a client who is a wheelchair user whichwe then pitched to a panel of professors.
In my first year engineering design course, I worked with 2 other engineering students to use Autodesk Inventor to 3D model a gear train that mimics the motion of a hand and well as a custom chassis. We then printed and assembled a working prototype of the design.
