Bio

I am a mechanical engineering student at Washington University in St. Louis with an interest in MEP and HVAC design. Outside the classroom, I compete on WashU's women's soccer team, where balancing engineering and collegiate athletics has strengthened my discipline, teamwork, and time management. I am a mechanical engineering student at Washington University in St. Louis with an interest in MEP and HVAC design. Outside the classroom, I compete on WashU's women's soccer team, where I have helped my team win two NCAA Division III National Championships while maintaining a 3.87 GPA. Through my coursework and internships, I have developed experience with CAD, Revit, building system design, and BIM coordination. My first engineering internship introduced me to HVAC design and load calculations, while my current construction internship has given me hands-on experience creating as-built Revit models, reviewing construction documents, and coordinating building systems. After graduation, I hope to become a licensed mechanical engineer and design sustainable, energy-efficient building systems for commercial and institutional buildings.

Dream career field:
Mechanical or Industrial Engineering
Dream career goals:
My long-term career goal is to become a mechanical engineer working in CAD, product design, and manufacturing. I am especially interested in roles where I can take an idea from an initial concept through the design process and eventually see it become a real product or system. Through my coursework and CAD classes, I have developed a strong foundation in technical modeling and enjoy using software such as SolidWorks, Revit, and AutoCAD to create detailed designs and models. My internships have also helped shape my career interests. Through my construction engineering experience, I have worked with 3D building models, construction documents, mechanical equipment, ductwork, and MEP coordination. This gave me a better understanding of how engineering designs are implemented in the real world and how important it is to create designs that are both accurate and practical. As I continue my education, I hope to gain more experience in product development, manufacturing, automation, and mechanical system design. My goal is to work on projects where I can solve problems, improve existing designs, and contribute to products or systems that have a positive impact. I also hope to continue developing my technical skills so that I can understand not only how to create a design, but also how it will actually be built, manufactured, and used.
