Engineering is a major part of what I do, but the way I approach it has been shaped by much more — motorsport, leadership, teamwork, dance, travel and a constant drive to learn by doing.
I am a Mechanical Engineering student at Queen's University with a strong interest in automotive and motorsport engineering.
What draws me to engineering is the opportunity to take an idea, understand how and why it works, and turn it into something tangible. I enjoy the full process — designing, analyzing, building, testing and then finding ways to make the result better.
Through university design teams, automotive manufacturing and trackside race engineering, I have been able to apply that mindset in very different environments. Those experiences have helped shape both the engineer I am becoming and the areas I want to continue exploring.
Whether I am working on a race car, a manufacturing process or a student project, I try to combine technical thinking with practical implementation and continuous improvement.
I like understanding the reason behind a design decision rather than simply arriving at a solution. Requirements, users and real-world constraints should guide the engineering process.
From manufacturing performance to race telemetry, I use data to understand what is happening, identify patterns and support better engineering decisions.
My favourite projects are iterative. Design, test, evaluate and improve — whether that means refining a CAD model, a production process or a vehicle setup.
Motorsport combines many of the parts of engineering that interest me most: mechanical design, vehicle performance, data, fast problem solving and teamwork.
Working trackside has given me the opportunity to see how engineering decisions translate directly into vehicle and driver performance. Data from a session, driver feedback and observations from the team all become inputs for the next decision.
Formula SAE has given me another perspective on that process by allowing me to contribute to the design and development of the vehicle itself. Together, those experiences have strengthened my interest in pursuing automotive and motorsport engineering.
Some of my most valuable experiences have come from roles where technical work, organization and people all intersect.
Support team logistics, procurement, travel and professional development while helping connect students with technical learning opportunities and industry resources.
Helped lead a conference connecting university students with professionals across the automotive and motorsport industries through speakers, panels, workshops and networking.
Guide multidisciplinary student teams through project planning, stakeholder communication, technical milestones, teamwork and presentations.
Before engineering became such a large part of my life, dance was one of the environments where I learned discipline, consistency, teamwork and how much progress can come from repeatedly refining small details.
I also enjoy travel, meeting new people and becoming involved in automotive and motorsport communities. Those experiences give me opportunities to learn from people with different backgrounds and perspectives.
I value being well-rounded and bringing those experiences back into the way I communicate, collaborate and approach technical problems.
I am continuing to build experience in the areas where design, performance and practical engineering intersect.
Applying mechanical engineering principles to vehicle systems, manufacturing and performance.
Developing my understanding of race engineering, vehicle performance, data and driver feedback.
Continuing to develop my skills in CAD, analysis, manufacturing and iterative engineering design.
