Biography

About

Hometown: Lorain, Ohio

Favorite thing in Ann Arbor: The diversity of good restaurants and food.

Advice for new students: Get out and get involved in something non-engineering related. It makes you a well-rounded individual and gives you a break from the stress of being a Chemical Engineering student.

What do you love most about your job: Working with the students in a laboratory setting and helping them to apply theory to real world operation.

Favorite Quote: “The walls between art and engineering exist only in our minds.” ~Theo Jansen

Favorite free time activity or hobby: When not working on the Board of Happy Hearts Feline Rescue, I enjoy hanging out and playing board games with my friends.
