Tulane University, School of Science and Engineering May 2018 Bachelor of Science, Major: Engineering Physics, Certificate: Materials Engineering New Orleans, LA Capstone Project – Laser Power Regulator

Received First Place award at Tulane Engineering Design Expo 2018 and awarded entry into 2018 Tulane Engineering Forum

• The laser in Tulane University’s Quantum Information and Nonlinear Optics lab experiences power fluctuations as a result of polarization drift in the laser light. Using properties of polarization of light, we created a device to solve this problem. The device consists of three main parts: feedback system that communicates how much the polarization must be changed to revert the power back to set value; case that holds the halfwave plate which changes the polarization when rotated, and rotational mechanism that consists of stepper motor and gears. Study Abroad: University College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland Summer 2016 EXPERIENCE

Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana September 2017 - May 2018 Environmental Outreach Ambassador New Orleans, LA

• Drafted documents for volunteers outlining scientific support for coastal restoration initiatives.

• Organized community outreach at Louisiana Sportsman’s Show; acquired upwards of 50 new volunteers.

• Monitored tree growth in coastal locations throughout Southern Louisiana; developed new conservation initiatives.

• Collaborated with team during restoration events; engage with community for fundraising and environmental initiatives. Camfil USA Summer 2017

Engineering Intern Riverdale, NJ

• Troubleshot Material Issues: (1) Solved synthetic media adhesion problem by making stronger adhesion and wicking with polyurethane. (2) Determined root cause of why silicone gel was not curing by replicating production issue.

• Performed Material Tests: (1) Quality tests on silicone gel. (2) Provided record keeping/lot testing for media

(ignition test, wet pick-up test, and tensile test). (3) Off-gassing trials to determine release of VOCs. (4) Flat sheet oil loading tests. (5) ASHRAE 52.5 test (pressure drop and efficiency tests on media).

• Coded Software and Circuitry: (1) Wrote Trapezium Method code on Python for various filter loadings. (2) Wrote code for flat sheet firmware to output program version and pressure every time program is run. Upward Bound Spring 2017

College Mentor and Tutor New Orleans, LA

• Tutored 50+ students with diverse learning needs and cultural backgrounds in Math and English in group and one-on-one sessions. Analyzed their precollege performance and determined how it could be improved.

• Advised and mentored first generation, low-income high school juniors and seniors in the New Orleans area. Barnetgat Bay Partnership Summer 2016

Research Assistant Toms River, NJ

• Monitored quality of bridges, inspected bearings, abundments, and I-Beams, measured culvert width and cross sectional area, crossing length, incoming and outgoing water velocities at various stream crossings.

• Duplicated measurements in AutoCAD to anticipate issues, performed integrated loadings to check each bridge’s stability, and experimented with potential future improvements on bridge to prevent failures or damages. LEADERSHIP AND COMMUNITY SERVICE

Louisiana SPCA, Foster Parent September 2017 - Present Tulane Women in Science, Member 2014 - May 2018

Tulane Climate Action Day, Ambassador January 2018 Stir-No-More, Creator Spring 2016

• Followed complete engineering design process over the course of a semeseter to create 3D printed, self stirring, steam-powered pot. Steam flows up through turbine, turning gears, causing utensil to stir foodstuffs. Coded Aircraft Flying Program, Creator Spring 2016

• Matlab code prompted experienced pilots to input specific details about flight and airplane while outputting vital imformation such as lift, drag, necessary takeoff speed, flight distance. Matlab Flying program works for nine different Boeing planes, any US airport, and any flying distance. SCARC, Adult Leader 2010 - 2014

• Managed 30+ volunteers in assisting special needs people with Autism and intellectual disabilities participate in team sports. SKILLS AND INTERESTS
