Back to All Engineering, Mathematics Spotlights

I am currently working as a test engineer for LORD Microstrain in Williston, VT. I am a member of the inertial measurement team, where I develop software for data processing, as well as design test equipment and protocols for navigation systems. The position requires extensive programming knowledge across multiple languages, such as Python and LabView, a good understanding of rigid body dynamics, as well as a background in drafting and machine design.

I completed the SMC-UVM Engineering Program with a major in Mechanical Engineering and a minor in Math. When I arrived at St. Michael’s, I had no idea what direction my career path would take me. My first year calculus class sparked my interest in mathematics, and inspired me to choose engineering as my career. It still amazes me how much of the basic mathematics that I learned at St. Michael’s I use everyday at my job.
