Bachelor of Science in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering - GPA: 3.2 Morgantown, West Virginia

• Dean’s List Recipient Fall 2021 and Spring 2020/2021 GPA: 3.55 and 3.60/3.50 Projects

Automatic Ball Return Solidoworks, Microsoft Office Jan. – Apr. 2021

• Developed an automatic ball return mechanism to carry balls from one floor to another and sort them by size.

• Utilized Solidworks to design mechanism around the dimensional constraints and create technical drawings.

• Built prototype of the ball sorting mechanism to test validity of design before implementing into final product.

• Created a manual explaining the mechanical and electrical portions of the mechanism along with any safety precautions.

• Used Microsoft Office to document and the present the calculations and results to the client. Theo Jensen Walking Mechanism Solidworks, Geogebra Aug. – Dec. 2020

• Designed a single degree of freedom robotic walking trainer based on the Theo Jensen walking mechanism that was to walk at a constant speed and under a certain amount of weight.

• Created a prototype in Geogebra to test the dimensional constraints of the device.

• Utilized Solidworks to create the final product using the proper dimensions and materials to operate under the speed and weight constraints.

Crank Phone Charger Inventor Feb. – Apr. 2018

• Developed a cranking mechanism that could produce a constant output of five volts to charge an iPhone to 25 percent.

• Utilized Inventor to design gears for the mechanism to be laser cut.

• Assembled the charger and found that ten minutes of cranking would produce a voltage output of seven. Experience
