  • Aug 2022 - Present

  A part of the IRISv3 project team, we are currently working with engineers at NASA to further develop our prototype that was selected as 1 of 6 national finalists in NASA's FLOATing DRAGON Balloon Challenge, which essentially requires teams to figure out a way to safely guide a data payload that has been collecting data in Earth's atmosphere back to the ground. Furthermore, within this project, I am on the STOC squad, which allows me to further improve my machining and CAD skills.

  • Aug 2022 - Present

  In preparation for AIChe's annual Chem-E-Car competition, we are working to develop a battery powered car that is driven by an aluminum-air battery and eventually stopped by an iodine clock reaction. As the driving reaction team lead, I am responsible for helping develop a battery that produces enough voltage to power the car's motor, which has required quite a bit of testing with different electrolytes, anode/cathode dimensions, and many other factors.

  Working within the CSO Work Management Systems Team, I have had the opportunity to engage with various computer programs to help further analyze and structure data related to gas distribution, such as SQL, Maximo, PCAD, and PowerBI. Additionally, I have been tasked with a Field Verification Consulting Project where the aim is to provide potential solutions to mitigate data errors with the entry of meter and ERT numbers in the field.

  As a part of the Protiviti Travel Team, which is within the Consulting division of SIBC at Notre Dame, we are currently working to develop a possible M&A proposal for Meta that will be presented to Protiviti executives in Chicago. This opportunity has allowed me to deepen my understanding of the world of consulting, and business in general for that matter, which is a field I am looking to explore further in the near future.

• EWB Notre Dame

  • Aug 2022 - May 2023

  A large portion of engineering is developing ideas and products that will improve the lives of others, which is why I decided to get involved with Engineers Without Borders. Although one of EWB's main priorities is to help communities outside the United States, such as the San Pedro de Suma community in Ecuador, another large part of EWB that I am specifically involved with are local projects, which I was both involved with in Rogers Park (Chicago) and here in the local South Bend area. Currently, we are looking into the viability of implementing geothermal ponds at various locations throughout South Bend. Show less

• Teaching Fellow

  • Jun 2022 - Dec 2022

  Being a teacher at Kid's Science Labs allowed me to do something that I never really had formal experience with before: teach. I quickly found out that, especially with younger children, teaching is a lot easier said than done. That said, it was awesome to introduce these children to scientific concepts they had never imagined, like examining the components of Earth's atmosphere or experimenting with buoyancy. Seeing how engaged and actually interested these 9 and 10 year olds were learning about this material also served to remind me why I'm pursuing a degree in science, which at its core comes down to the fact that science is fun! Furthermore, breaking down these scientific ideas into terms that children could actually comprehend was a fun challenge in itself, which ultimately required some creativity and ingenuity.

  • May 2022 - Aug 2022

  The summer following my freshman year, I was offered the exciting opportunity to play in a semi-professional environment in United Soccer League 2, which is the 4th division of soccer here in the United States, for Chicago Dutch Lions FC. Playing alongside other collegiate athletes and traveling all over the Midwest to play other teams was a summer well spent, as it helped me further develop not only as an athlete, but as a person. The attention to detail as well as the competitive and professional mindset that was required to be a part of this team, are qualities I can translate to areas beyond just soccer. Show less

  During my freshman year at Loyola University Chicago, I was a member of the Division I Men's Soccer team. From having activities almost all and every day to having to miss class for travel, this experience put my dedication and time management skills to the test. That said, the lessons, such as discipline and perseverance, as well as the friendships that came out of this episode of my life have been unparalleled.

• Grade 8 Soccer Referee

  • Aug 2017 - Jul 2022

  The perfect intersection of passion and profession, refereeing has been a great way for me to continue to stay involved with the game I love- soccer - while working. After 4 years of enforcing the Laws of the Game, constant heckling, and meeting countless awesome referees, coaches, and players, I could not be more satisfied with being a soccer referee. Even past the communication, assertiveness, and tough mentality that was required, being involved with the game I love through refereeing has been a blessing. Show less



Cantigny Park

• Front Desk Receptionist

  • May 2020 - Aug 2021

  Through working as a receptionist over the summer, I got a glimpse into what the customer service industry entails, specifically in the realm of golf. Answering phone calls, checking students in for their golf lessons, ringing up golf club sales, and resolving problems within the schedule were some of the duties I held on a typical day, which when all put together helped me further develop my organization and communication skills. Compared to my work as a groundskeeper the previous year, being a receptionist at the Golf Academy gave me the opportunity to better understand the financial and logistical side of the course.

• Groundskeeper

  • May 2020 - Dec 2020

  In order to curb the cost of my golf addiction, I decided to start working at Cantigny Golf as a groundskeeper. Utilizing equipment ranging from greens mowers to fairway blowers, this experience was a great way to increase my understanding of outdoor maintenance machinery as well as a receive a behind-the-scenes perspective of the golf industry. After working 6 days a week for the whole summer and waking up at 4:30 am each of those days, in addition to working in far from ideal conditions a lot of the time, I have developed an appreciation for people that do this kind of work for a living.
