Mechanical Design
Impact Tester
Thermacell Repellents designs spatial mosquito repellers. I was tasked with designing a custom fixture to recreate common impact forces that a repeller would be exposed to.

I've always been someone who learns by doing. Taking things apart, figuring out how they work, and finding better ways to put them back together. That instinct led me to Mechanical Engineering at Northeastern University, where the co-op program has let me pair what I learn in the classroom with real engineering work. Through co-ops at Thermacell Repellents and Insulet Corporation, I've gotten hands-on experience across consumer products and medical devices, from leading design projects to navigating the constraints of regulated manufacturing. SolidWorks has become my primary tool, and I've used it extensively for 3D modeling, formal drawings, assemblies, and thermal simulation across both co-ops and coursework.
