As a current MS student in Civil Engineering with a focus on Geotechnical Engineering, I'm passionate about understanding the complex relationship between soil, rock, and the structures we build. My journey started with a degree in Mining Engineering, where I developed a deep interest in underground systems and ground behavior, which naturally led me to geotechnical engineering. Through my studies at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, I'm building on that foundation by exploring soil mechanics, foundation design, and innovative geotechnical solutions. I'm excited about how this knowledge can be applied to real-world challenges in mining, construction, sustainability and infrastructure. I believe the best engineers never stop learning, and I'm always looking for new ways to grow and contribute to meaningful projects. Whether it's in geotechnical consulting, research, or practical engineering design, l'm eager to make a positive impact and help solve the challenges of tomorrow’s built environment.
