Bio:

I’m pursuing a dual degree in Mechanical Engineering and Industrial Design at Clemson University, which allows me to blend technical precision with innovative aesthetics in our robot designs. My expertise lies in advanced CAD modeling, finite element analysis, and rapid prototyping using both traditional manufacturing and additive techniques. Last year, I led a complete robot redesign that reduced weight by 18% while increasing structural integrity, earning our team the Design Award at VEX U Worlds. I’ve completed a co-op with a major automotive manufacturer where I worked on lightweight structural components, experience I now apply to optimizing our competition robots. Currently, I’m conducting research on topology optimization for robotics applications and have presented findings at two engineering conferences. I serve as president of our university’s Society of Women Engineers chapter and actively recruit more women into competitive robotics. After graduation, I plan to work in robotics R&D, specializing in mechanical systems for collaborative and mobile robots. #
