WORK EXPERIENCE
ORAU/ORISE DHS HS-STEM Program Internship, Washington D.C. May-August 2016
Interned for U.S. Department of Homeland Security at Naval Research Laboratory
• Worked in Collation Tactical Awareness Response group at the Naval Research Laboratory responsible for creating image
products from NASA’s direct broadcast satellites (Aqua and Terra), using existing software
• Configured high rate data receiving system in order to properly demodulate the direct broadcast signal from these
satellites, and collected data from numerous satellite passes
• Configured and used Real-Time Software Telemetry Processing System and the International Polar Orbiting Processing
Package in order to convert raw telemetry data into usable image products. Able to semi-automate process for ease of use
New York Power Authority Internship, White Plains, N.Y. May-August 2015
• Interned in the Energy Efficiency department in the Construction Management group on many different projects
• Tracked multimillion dollar projects in Primavera while gaining valuable project/construction management by shadowing
and assisting supervisor

Purchase Day Camp, Purchase, NY - Senior Counselor Summers 2009 – 2014
ACADEMIC PROJECT EXPERIENCE
Senior Capstone Project September 2015 - May 2016
• Was lead designer in a team of 3 responsible for developing a low cost, 3D-printed prosthetic foot for children in third
world countries. Designed and 3D-Printed a working prototype that passed all loading and fatigue requirements when
tested on a 6 DOF motion simulator
Landing Gear Design November-December 2014
• Designed landing gear on Creo Parametric based on certain geometric restrictions. Ran a finite element analysis on the
landing gear joints based on a ground reaction from the simulated weight of the aircraft
Junior Design Diving Board Project February - May 2015
• Designed a lightweight, portable diving board able to support the 95% percentile male, while not being permanently
attached to the ground. When idle, board apparatus was able to fit into 4x3x3 space while weighing 88.7 lbs
Yorktown High School Science Research Program 2009 - 2011
• Worked with several IBM engineers on a project focusing on the use of Millimeter Wave Technology, similar to scanners
used in airports and other public places
• Received three awards at the Westchester Science and Engineering Fair in 2011: the Naval Science Award (from Office of
Naval Research), ASM Materials Education Foundation Award and the Visual Impact Award
