Proudest Moment: Making turbine parts that enabled new marine renewable energy research.
My parents are wonderful and shaped me in all the best ways, helping me become a compassionate, patient, and thoughtful person. I majored in mechanical engineering at UW and participated in projects and work that are linked together with the common threads of renewable energy and water. I’m looking forward to traveling the world as a Bonderman Fellow, guided by thoughts about humanity’s varied relationship with water. Upon returning, I’d like to extend beyond my engineering background into spaces that holistically work on improving community identities, understandings of water, and design.
