University: Florida Institute of Technology

Area of study: Ocean Engineering

Year of graduation: 2024

I constructed sets for twelve theatre productions in high school where I discovered and grew a passion for building, creating, and storytelling. I am skilled at math and construction design and am studying ocean engineering at Florida Tech. I enjoy ocean engineering because it combines many engineering disciplines and applies them to the challenging real-world environment of the ocean. Along with engineering, I have a strong appreciation for the arts. My proudest achievement (so far) is the set I designed for A Midsummer Night's Dream. I hope to combine my engineering and artistic skills in the entertainment industry.
