You didn't think I just made music, did you?

That's right-- I'm a STEM baddie. Whenever I'm not in the world of music, I'm deep into my mechanical engineering problem sets...

What got me into engineering?

Simple answer-- FIRST. I was a robotics kid. Met the most amazing mentors, friends, and it really solidified my love for engineering. 

(This is me in a state of shock from winning the 2022 FIRST Dean's List Award)

I try to volunteer at qualifiers as much as I can. My favorite role is being a hardware inspector. I look like a nerd here lol. 

These are my Dean's List friends and I at the FIRST Dean's List Summit. We got to see so many cool things. Check us out here: https://firstdeanslist.org/​

Diana-- where's your portfolio???

​I'm working on it-- I promise :)

A lot of the stuff I've worked on is proprietary, so it's not mine to share. 

In the meantime, I have some published research on mechanical design methodologies here: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10402358​. 

Have I convinced you yet?

No, this isn't sponsored, but FIRST really changed my life and I hope it'll do the same for you :)
