As my senior year comes to an end, I do not plan on leaving academia. I’ll probably stick around as long as I can, because I never want to stop furthering my education. Like my mom, I want to become a teacher and help as many students as I can. Right now, staying in school is my personal aspirations.
As far as skill sets, I’m a pretty capable mechanical engineering student. I teach CAD workshops at the ITLL in addition to designing and fabricating suspension on the Baja team. I have a fair share of knowledge in arts and in the industrial setting. I also make really yummy nachos! 🙂

That’s sick that you’re doing baja! I hope to get that next year, it sounds like a really cool project. I am sure that working with such a project as that will help you be of assistance in making a dynamic sculpture, I gotta imagine there are some crazy dynamic design problems on baja. You have no urge to go in into the real world eh?
I really respect the drive to learn. That is a trait almost all engineers share but the fact that you want to use that calling to teach is even more admirable. I really wanted to be on the baja team, that is so cool you are.
I’m jealous that you’re on baja! I’m taking senior design next year and am applying for the project for sure! But anyways it sounds like you have a lot of design experience, especially through CAD and engineering. Plus nachos are a must for making it through any project.
