About

About me

I’m pursuing a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering at UCLA after transferring from Clovis Community College, where I completed my studies with a 4.0 GPA.

At Fresno Auto Service, I used scan tools and electrical tests to diagnose faults, then verified repairs in the shop. I also study muscle physiology and exercise science, which draws me to engineering projects involving human movement.
