PROJECTS
Capstone
Project | 01 Low-Impact Tiny House for Housing-Insecure Individuals in Harrisonburg
As a part of my two-year capstone project, my team and I designed a low-impact tiny house for a housing-insecure individual in Harrisonburg, Virginia. Working closely with local structural engineers and architects, our team was able to design a space that would provide a home to someone in need. In the spring of 2018, our team, along with great help from the local carpenter's guild, was able to construct the tiny house we designed.

Bike Project
Project | 02 Human Powered Vehicle
My sophomore design project was to create a human powered vehicle for our client, Syerra Caesar. Syerra is 17 years old now and suffers from Spastic Hemiplegia Cerebral Palsy. The left side of her body is significantly weaker than the right side; therefore, our design has to accommodate her needs. During this yearlong project, my team and I have created proof of concepts prototypes, alpha and beta prototypes. Along with several prototypes, we created 3D models and a bill of materials to accommodate our final design. This project has not only given me the opportunity to solve a real-world problem, but it has given me the chance to grow as an empathetic engineer
Non-profit Business
Project | Project Management I Non-profit Business
As a part of my Engineering Project Management class, my team and I had to complete a profit and non-profit business. For our profit business, we created a delivery service that delivered groceries or takeout for $5. We used the money we made from that business to fund our non-profit business. Our class participated in Canstruction Harrisonburg 2016. Each group built a structure totally out of canned foods. At the end of the event, our structure was built with over 300 cans of food which was donated to those in need. Our class in total donated over 12,000 cans of food.
