RENEWABLE ENERGY
Clean Energy Testbeds
Undergraduate Researcher June 2022 – June 2023
My first internship, my mentor taught me to create a BOM and use CAD skills. They didn’t have any Solidworks lisences so I used FreeCAD instead, it taught me to use everything in my disposal.

WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY
iMatter Lab
Undergraduate Researcher June 2023 – June 2025
My second internship, my mentor and PI taught me the actual framework behind creating papers. I spent my time making creating samples, collecting data and using Blender and Powerpoint for illustrations. It was my first insight into using communication to really drive the importance of our research, giving it purpose essentially.
