• Wind Turbine Loads Engineer / Mechanical Engineer

  • Jun 2011 - Jun 2015

  Orlando, Florida Area My responsibility was to determine the suitability of Siemens' geared 2.3MW and direct drive 3.0MW onshore turbines for project sites that are outside of standard IEC 61400-1 conditions. I ran a finite element, nonlinear, aero-elastic code that models the wind turbine structure and controller in order to analyze the loads on the wind turbine components based on site specific wind conditions. I created design loads for Siemens' 115m concrete tower, one of the tallest wind turbine towers in the… Show more My responsibility was to determine the suitability of Siemens' geared 2.3MW and direct drive 3.0MW onshore turbines for project sites that are outside of standard IEC 61400-1 conditions. I ran a finite element, nonlinear, aero-elastic code that models the wind turbine structure and controller in order to analyze the loads on the wind turbine components based on site specific wind conditions. I created design loads for Siemens' 115m concrete tower, one of the tallest wind turbine towers in the US. I supported the Hutchinson, KS manufacturing facility by dispositioning mechanical related nonconformances on Siemens' 2.3 and 3.0MW platforms. I designed and field tested a pitch calibration tool to hold pitch calibration tolerance to within 0 +/-0.5 degrees to minimize customer AEP loss from pitch calibration error. Show less



Centro Tecnológico de Componentes

• Mechanical Engineering Intern

  • Jun 2010 - Jul 2010

  Santander, Spain After studying abroad in Spain, I interned in the renewable energy department of Centro Tecnológico de Componentes and worked on the preliminary design of a 100m hub height, 2 MW wind turbine. I researched and wrote a report of the state-of-the-art of joints for sectional wind turbine towers.

• Sustainable Engineering Intern

  • Jun 2009 - Jul 2009

  Portsmouth, New Hampshire While living and working on Appledore Island off the coast of Maine, I analyzed the performance of the island’s photovoltaic arrays. I investigated daily and seasonal performance and the correlation between temperature and PV efficiency.



General Electric Energy

• Mechanical Engineering Intern

  • Jun 2008 - Aug 2008

  Bangor, Maine Area I reduced steam turbine manufacturing defects by documenting critical-to-quality processes. I gained exposure to CNC manufacturing, Six Sigma, cell-based manufacturing and CMM inspection.
