Sep 2016 - May 2019
During my first three years here at CU Boulder, I have been a member of the CU Racing team. The team consists of building a racecar to compete in rigorous endurance races. By participating in this club, it has allowed me to gain more knowledge in motorsports by working on Mazda Miatas. Specifically, I assisted the team by completing a sub-frame and engine swap between two vehicles. During work meetings, I worked with a large team of up to 12 members at a time.
