I am a third-year undergraduate student, currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) at Michigan Tech. On campus, I am involved with Advanced Metalworks Enterprise (AME), Materials United (MU), Water Polo CLub, and Roller Hockey Club. This will be my second year as a member of AME, and I have worked on one project with the enterprise so far. I have also worked with Consumer Product Manufacturing (CPM) Enterprise on the nanoMAG Hockey Blade team, and BoardSport Technologies (BST) enterprise on the Smart Board team. This semester, I am taking three MSE classes: Semiconductors, Materials Characterization II, and Materials Processing. Open source technology is new to me, but I am looking forward to learning about its growing amount of real-world applications. Composite materials and recycling have always been of great interest to me. My current dream job is to work with composite materials to make stronger, lighter, and more durable sports equipment, especially hockey sticks. I have volunteered for many recycling/conservation related activities with my Boy Scout troop while on the path to Eagle Scout.
