Bio

I am originally from Overland Park, Kansas, and am currently in my last semester of undergrad. I came to NC State as a nuclear engineer, drawn by the promise of reliable, clean, and abundant energy. Through reflection, I realized that it was ultimately the application and integration of nuclear power that excited me most. This understanding pushed me to explore a career in electrical engineering.

My passions lie in the energy industry as a whole—not only the technologies, but also the economics and policies that power our world. It is here that I wish to further cultivate my career, seeking out opportunities for innovation.

Outside of academics, I enjoy competing in powerlifting and spending time with friends.

This Website

This website is a way for me to capture my personal, professional, and academic experiences. It was made as a fun side project, and development is currently ongoing. These webpages were made in HTML and can be found in the repository here. I also attempted to format everything in the style of LaTeX.1
