I am a robotics engineer based in East Granby, CT, with a strong background in rapid prototyping, design, and test engineering. My engineering journey began back in high school, when I founded the all-female/nonbinary robotics team The Missfits.
Own design changes, development and certification work, and investigations for NGPF engine wiring harnesses. Responsible for budget development and schedule maintenance across multiple engine programs.
Build middle school curriculum for science and technology classes. Teach classes and programs such as 3D modeling and printing, Arduino and Raspberry Pi, and Python.
Lived on NOAA vessel Okeanos Explorer while conducting seafloor research and ocean mapping. Responsible for maintaining and upgrading electrical systems on vehicle, including fiber optics and sensors.
Lived on off-the-grid farm in North Carolina, while working on group organization, cabin construction, and microhydro and solar power systems.
Completed summer-long project to improve cost and sustainability of packaging. Worked on design integration and testing with current systems.
Worked on testing and improvement of in-car computer systems.
Wrote scripts for testing on-board vehicle computer to perform burn-in testing to test computer robustness. Worked with suppliers on design improvement for on-board vehicle computer, sensors, and FPGA cards.
Worked on bring-up and calibration of autonomous vehicles. A large focus was put into diagnosis and resolution of problems, helping nurture strong skills in problem solving. Also worked on creation of fleet-wide calibration tracking for sensors.
Worked on machine shop repair and upkeep, organization of laboratory, and process design for tumor cell circulation machine
Analyzed trends and conducted interviews to assess COVID-19's impact on the transportation industry, developing innovative product design concepts for Ford to enhance mobility solutions in a post-pandemic world.

Download ReportA project made for Introduction to Mechanical Prototyping. Was given a set or constraints and materials, and had to design and build a kinematic sculpture to fit within those constraints. Includes different transmissions and joints including gearing, a cam, a four-bar linkage, and a scotch-yoke joint.
