Education

  • Rochester Institute of Technology Bachelor of Science, Mechanical Engineering 2005 – 2011 I worked for the County of Monroe in the Engineering division for two summers. The first summer I focused on creating an assets database for the important facility equipment Monroe County owned. The second summer I developed a new asbestos database that showed where and in what condition asbestos was still present in County owned properties.

    I was part of the small mechanical engineering team responsible for the enclosure on my senior design project. Sponsored by the Harris Corporation, the larger multidisciplinary team designed a wireless transceiver.
