Returning to Applied Fiber in a new automation-focused role after a year-long industrial engineering internship — supporting robotic systems and process automation on the factory floor.

• Co-led the full redesign and physical reorganization of the factory floor using lean principles to support six new robotic systems, increasing process efficiency by 35% and quality consistency by 28%.
• Developed and executed controlled experiments assessing tensile strength, repetitive efficiency, break thresholds, and load-bearing limits.
• Collected and analyzed performance data to guide engineering decisions, preventing over $15K in production waste.
• Conducted market research across the aerospace and automotive sectors, identifying 25+ qualified leads and supporting sales outreach.

Co-founded and operate CopperWell, a residential and commercial pressure-washing business. 250+ completed jobs across driveways, houses, porches, and more — handling client communications, marketing, and quality assurance end to end.

Board member planning and executing events for the IISE community at UF. Participant in the mentor–mentee program and professional development sessions led by firms including Deloitte and Arthrex, deepening knowledge of Six Sigma and Lean methodology.

Managed and monitored the chapter's academic success — scholarship notes, academic channels, and study resources — contributing to a consistent top-5 GPA ranking within the IFC.

Selected for FLEG, a leadership organization within UF's Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering. Organized student events and partnerships that connected engineering students with organizations across campus.

Implemented lean production tactics — including a new power-tool station for the factory floor — presented projects to management, and performed measurement and logging of manufactured parts for quality assurance.

Managed setup and installation of a KUKA ready2learn robot cell, sourced attachments for 3D concrete/ceramic printing applications, and coordinated Ultimaker 3D-printer usage for university affiliates across FSU and FAMU.

Red Cross–certified lifeguard for city aquatics facilities.
