Let me introduce myself!

I’m a Kentucky native who found my way to Boston, bringing with me a love for bluegrass music, Boston sports, and all things engineering. When I’m not designing or solving mechanical problems, you’ll probably find me experimenting in the kitchen, spending time outdoors, or talking about how much I love Australian shepherds. This portfolio highlights my work in mechanical engineering and creative problem-solving. Enjoy!

Industry Experience

Techtronic Industries

At Techtronic Industries (TTI), I worked on product development across Ryobi Floor Care, Ryobi Outdoor Products, and Ridgid Power Tools, focusing on design, ergonomics, and manufacturability. I collaborated with engineers, designers, and suppliers to improve functionality, cost efficiency, and quality control. This experience strengthened my skills in CAD, design for manufacturing, and iterative product development.
