My father was a very influential person in my life who exposed me to the world of mechanical and electrical engineering. he himself was a Fighter jet mechanic, which sparked my interest in all things mechanical and electrical. Starting, I was taking apart and repairing my gaming controllers. Still, now I have bigger goals of working on the same Jets that my dad did as an engineer.

The photo on the left is of my father and me outside his workplace. his work ethic has inspired me not only in the classroom to strive for my best and think intuitively, but to apply myself to everyday problems and to fix things myself. Coming to University of North Texas has been very exciting for me as i can continue to apply myself and be exposed to more hands-on approaches to different subjects.

My more recent projects have been within SolidWorks, which is a modeling software that allows you to create 3D objects. this software has been challenging yet fun to use through my first semester here at UNT. this picture is just one of many different shapes and objects that we model in the class.
