Summary
I am an upcoming college student looking to pursue Mechanical engineering. I am highly motivated with strong math and science skills. I love to push myself to learn what I don't know, and challenge what I already do. When I am not in school, I spend my time 3D printing, playing tennis, and hanging out with friends and family.
