The Okonite Company

Manufacturing Engineer
At the Okonite Company, I am responsible for identifying process improvement opportunities and managing projects for three of the five major departments within the plant. I identify and examine recurring defects and develop plans to resolve them through CAPA reports. To carry out these plans, I lead cross-disciplinary teams consisting of mechanics, electricians, and operators to assist in addressing the faults that I identified. I monitor my projects throughout, ensuring the budgets and timelines remain on track for their entirety. In addition to process improvements, I work on cost reductions plantwide. I have implemented lean manufacturing practices within each of my departments to foster continuous improvement.

Product Validation Engineer
At Vibram, I was responsible for ensuring the quality of consumer goods in the footwear industry before they were released to market. I ran tests and collected both quantitative and qualitative data on different performance metrics of Vibram shoes and soles. I also performed the same tests on the shoes of the top competitors. Once all of the tests were computed, I reported all of my findings to the Director of Innovation at Vibram.

EFI

Mechanical Engineering Intern
At EFI, I was responsible for designing parts and fixtures in Solidworks to further improve the industrial printer. I collaborated with field engineers and electrical engineers to make design changes that focused on accessibility when repairs needed to be made in the field. In addition, I created drawings with geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) so that parts could be manufactured precisely. I also designed and implemented fatigue tests to ensure the printer components functioned properly. While at EFI, I gained valuable experience in mechanical design, research and development, and rapid prototyping.

Engineering Intern
During my time at Franke, I was responsible for data collection on returned parts, as well as identifying and resolving quality issues. I utilized Microsoft Excel to sort data. I created pivot tables so that the data could be managed easily and presented neatly. I reported my findings to the engineering team and established recommendations for design changes to improve the products based on customer feedback.

Creating a Temporal Bone Holder for Universitätsspital Zürich (Senior Capstone Project)
At the University Hospital Zurich (USZ), I was responsible for designing and testing a biomedical device with the capabilities of holding a temporal bone sample. The device needed to withstand the drilling and cutting forces applied by researchers, all while not allowing the temporal bone to be displaced more than one millimeter. The device was designed in Solidworks and simulations were run to check if it would be able to handle the forces. In addition, I designed an optics static test to ensure it would meet these requirements. During the project, I gained valuable project management skills while leading a team of four students. The device is currently being used by PhD students at the hospital.
Interactive Qualifying Project in Monteverde, Costa Rica
During this project I worked with CORCLIMA to design a composting toilet to aid in Monteverde's water conservation efforts. The design was created by researching local parts that would be easily accessible with members in the community. I created the model using Solidworks, and produced a technical manual for how to assemble the composting toilet. This project was awarded first place in WPI’s Latin America Studies Project Competition.

Extraction of Iron from Bauxite Residue
During this project, my team researched the harmful effects that bauxite residue has on the environment. Once the problem was identified, we came up with a solution for how this waste material could be used to lessen the harmful effects. This solution was to collect the bauxite residue and extract iron from it through chemical and magnetic separation. We conducted an experiment to test this theory and were successful in collecting iron in the form of magnetide from the bauxite residue.
