Summary

Construction Management student at the University of Minnesota and FAA Part 107-certified Remote Pilot with hands-on experience in reality capture, construction quality control, 3D modeling, surveying, and aerial media. Experienced in applying emerging technology to large-scale construction, real estate, golf, and resort environments. Operated Sky Vision Videos, an aerial media company supporting golf courses, resorts, and real estate clients across multiple states.

My experience working on large-scale construction projects has given me firsthand exposure to the rapidly expanding role of drones, reality capture, and 3D data in the construction industry. I have a deep interest in UAS technology and reality capture and intend to build my career at the intersection of drones, construction, surveying, and emerging technology.
