Activities

  • While pursuing my bachelors in Industrial design I take advantage of my access to heavy machinery. In my free time I enjoy woodworking, metalworking, and plastic fabrication. Projects so far have ranged from homegoods such as spice racks, bookshelves, planters, and flooring installation to VW bus restoration and a camper build out. My strengths in understanding blueprints, diagrams, and problem solving makes me an efficient designer and builder.
  • Complementing my formal education, I have a strong interest in the arts. I was a member of the Wild Card Dance Company in Agoura Hills (hip hop, ballet, jazz, contemporary, lyrical, pointe, tap, waacking, and vogueing). I achieved a Level 5 Certificate of Merit in piano. I have applied these acquired skills as a volunteer to entertain seniors at care facilities and children at birthday parties. I have also participated in Youth and Government, serving as a representative for two years.
