Summary
I am a driven student with a growth mindset and always looking for new ways to challenge myself. While still exploring within biomedical engineering, I have extensive work experience within a variety of fields, all of which have required me to excel in collaboration with coworkers and respectful interactions. Experiences with a collegiate athletic program helped me to grow skills of time management, determination, teamwork, and reliability in a team environment. As I develop new skills within the biomedical engineering field, I will continue to use these skills and experiences to contribute to the world of engineering design and research.
