Idea Forge

Smith

August 2024 - May 2025 | Boulder, Colorado

As a smith I guided students in engineering and product creation through Global Engineer RAP by teaching workshops, including making hammocks, Bluetooth speakers, canvas tote bags, and more, mentoring craftsmanship and supporting prototype development. I also operated and maintained manufacturing equipment (3D printers, laser cutters, sewing machines, and wood shop) to enable one-of-a-kind project builds, while collaborating with faculty to manage resources, ensure safe equipment use, and track expenditures.

CU Boulder Computer-Aided Design and Fabrication Course

Teaching Assistant

August 2022 - January 2023 | Boulder, Colorado

During my sophomore year I managed a 19 credit course load while work as a teaching assistant for Computer-Aided Design and Fabrication. I enjoyed this course as a freshman and wanted to continue learning about this topic. 

I assisted 65 students in designing parts and assemblies in SOLIDWORKS, led workshops to operate machines teaching hands-on skills, and hosted office hours for academic assistance and counseling. At the end of the term, I worked with students on there creative, open-ended design project where students were asked to redesign a product in there every day lives.
