About Me

I’m someone who believes that hard work means more when it’s rooted in purpose. Everything I do—academically, professionally, and personally—is driven by a deep sense of responsibility to the people who believed in me before I ever believed in myself.

I’m a junior Mechanical Engineering student at the University of South Florida with a near-perfect academic record, pursuing a minor in Aerospace Engineering and on track to graduate in Spring 2027. But my story is about far more than GPA numbers or course titles. I’m a first-generation college student, raised in a family that understands sacrifice, perseverance, and the quiet strength it takes to keep pushing forward even when things aren’t easy. I’ve seen firsthand what it looks like to work long hours, to give without expecting anything back, and to never quit simply because something is difficult. That mindset is the foundation of who I am.

I approach engineering the same way my family approaches life: with intention, discipline, and pride in doing things the right way. I don’t cut corners. I don’t settle for “good enough.” Whether I’m designing brake rotors for a Formula SAE car, analyzing thermal data logs, or running simulations to understand how a system behaves under real loads, I treat every task as if it matters—because it does. I’ve been trusted with real responsibilities in team environments like Bulls Racing (FSAE) and IEEE Electrathon, where safety, performance, and reliability aren’t just ideas on paper, but requirements that affect real people and real outcomes.

What sets me apart is not just technical ability, but consistency. I show up. I learn fast. I ask questions. I stay late when something needs to be finished. I’m the kind of person who takes ownership—if something fails, I want to understand why; if something succeeds, I want to understand how to make it even better next time. Engineering, to me, is not just problem-solving—it’s accountability.

Outside of school and projects, my motivation is deeply personal. I’m fueled by love and loyalty. I have a hardworking, supportive family who gave everything so I could chase opportunities they never had, and I carry that with me every day. I also have a loving girlfriend who gives me the world through her support, patience, and belief in me—and my goal is simple: to give that world back to her and more. Everything I strive for is bigger than me. It’s about building a future where the people I love feel proud, secure, and cared for.

I thrive in diverse environments because I genuinely believe that different perspectives make solutions stronger. I bring empathy into engineering spaces, leadership into team settings, and humility into every room I walk into. I’m not afraid to work from the ground up, and I’m not afraid to fail as long as I learn from it.

At the end of the day, I’m just someone who refuses to waste opportunity. I work hard because I’ve seen what hard work can do. I stay disciplined because I know where I come from. And I aim high because I’m carrying more than just my own dreams with me.
