I graduated with my B.S. from Colorado School of Mines in Electrical Engineering (Information and System Sciences Track) in May 2020, during my undergrad I also did some coursework in Singapore while studying abroad. During my undergrad, I worked as a barista at the Book n’ Brew for all three years, did undergraduate research in the electrical engineering department during my final semester (K-12 STEM outreach and Lithium-Ion battery charging control).

After my undergraduate studies, I started my master’s degree at Mines which included thesis work on floating offshore wind turbine control and co-design. I graduated with an M.S. Thesis in Electrical engineering in May 2022. During my first year in graduate school, I worked as a Resident Advisor in Mines Park. In my second year of graduate school, I also worked as the Maple Hall Community Director, RHA Co-Advisor, and the Electrical Engineering DI&A Graduate Student Liaison.

After graduating with my master’s degree, I began teaching EENG307: Introduction to Feedback and Control systems as an adjunct instructor for Fall 2022 at Mines. I also began working at NREL as a hybrid systems integration researcher.
