Bio

Originally from Overland Park, Kansas, I moved to Raleigh, North Carolina to attend North Carolina State University. I graduated magna cum laude with a BS in Electrical Engineering in the Spring of 2026. I am now pursuing a masters in both electrical and nuclear engineering.

My passions lie in the energy industry as a whole—not only the technologies that power it, but also the economics and policies that shape it. It is here that I wish to further cultivate my career, attempting to push the envelope of innovation both personally and professionally.

During my time in electrical engineering, I have also fallen in love with embedded systems and computer engineering as a whole. It has been deeply rewarding to grow in these areas through elective courses, projects, and outside learnings.

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