During my childhood, I always enjoyed taking things apart and rebuilding them. No matter the object, I would find a way to re-purpose or rebuild it, either into something more efficient or brand new. This type of thinking is what put me on the path of becoming an engineer. I enjoy looking at technical problems and brainstorming innovative solutions to solve them. I find interest in studying technical problems that can be dissected and altered to operate more effectively or have a completely new function that benefits those in need.
I applied to Old Dominion University with the goal of graduating with an undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology and was accepted into the class of 2020. Before attending Old Dominion University, I graduated from the Cabarrus-Kannapolis Early College High School in 2016 with a high school diploma and Associate Degree in Arts, where I concentrated mainly on completing the general Mechanical Engineering Department requirements. Those classes included, Calculus I, General Chemistry I, General Biology I & II, C++, and Python. Taking those classes in high school assisted me in achieving my lifelong goal.
