During my time at Central Washington University, I created a clip to aid individuals with limited dexterity in tying their shoes. The clip was specifically designed to be compatible with most shoelaces, with three holes on each end shoelaces can easily lace through the clip, allowing for integration on shoes people already own! I designed the clip using SolidWorks, and 3-D printed the design, applying the prototype to my sister who has Down Syndrome helping aid her in tying her shoes.

During my time at Central Washington University, I machined a brass gear and shaft with a locking mechanism. The gear was milled on the milling machine and the engine lathe. The shaft was made of steel and was machined fully on the engine lathe, while the key was also made fully of steel it was milled on the vertical milling machine. 

I Led a team of 5 students to design a model of an interior air duct for in-depth analysis including reasonable external loads alongside necessary assumptions, culminating in a final report. We analyzed normal and shear stress components at multiple points throughout the air duct, validating its structural integrity.
