About Me

A Dreamer's History

Visionary engineer with a passion for creating innovative theme park experiences. My love for theme parks led me to pursue a degree in Mechanical Engineering, where I honed my technical skills and developed a deep understanding of physics and engineering principles.

​

After graduating from WPI, I continued my education at Arizona State University, where I am earning a Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering. My education equipped me with the tools and knowledge to tackle complex engineering challenges and develop innovative solutions.

My professional experience includes roles at Raytheon and Yankee Candle, where I gained valuable insights into systems integration, project management, and customer experience. At Raytheon, I worked on complex defense systems, developing and implementing innovative solutions to meet demanding requirements. At Yankee Candle, I contributed to the design and optimization of manufacturing processes, ensuring efficient production and high-quality products.

​

I'm eager to apply my expertise to the exciting world of theme park design. I imagine standing on a park bench, watching the smiles and laughter of people enjoying the ride I helped create. That's the kind of impact I aspire to make in the theme park industry.

​

Let's work together to bring my vision to life and create truly magical experiences for guests.
