I am a Mechanical Engineering student at Louisiana State University graduating in May, 2023, and I am seeking an internship or full-time position beginning this summer. I have found my major program to be rigorous but creatively sparse, so I augmented my education with a minor in Digital Media Arts and Engineering and candidacy in the Distinguished Communicator program. In conjunction with my work experience, this has enhanced my communication and creative skills, which helps me connect the technical nature of mechanical engineering with the people it is meant to serve. My current interests are urban transportation, digital minimalism, and rewilding.
