Other Positions
Athens-GGDA President | 2016 - Present

UGA Hacks Volunteer | October 2015
I wasn't sure what I wanted to do for UGA's first hackathon, but I knew I wanted to participate. So I resolved to lend a helping hand, to make it a better experience for everyone else.
FIRST Lego League Volunteer | Feb 2016
Throughout high school, I was involved in the robotics team which my close friends created. After competing in several FIRST robotics competitions, I decided to help encourage children interested in the same kind of stuff.
Software Development Intern | Summer 2018
Interned at Charles River Analytics, where I worked to create an AR battle space simulation, as well as a library of reusable visualizations for XR applications.
Researcher | May 2016 - Present
When I first tried the HTC Vive in March 2016, it completely blew my mind. That's why I've been doing Virtual Reality research for almost a year now - first just for credit, then as a part-time position.
UGA IEEE Chair | August 2015 - Present
As soon as I heard of a student-led IEEE branch, I was all over it. And after learning so much at their weekly meetings, I was able to return the favor by teaching other students about Unity, and abut VR development. The next year, I was unanimously elected vice Chair, where I delegate necessary responsibilities to keep the club prospering.
Teacher Assistant | August 2016 - Present
After working with my professor for two semesters, he offered me a TA position for the intro class I took my first semester. I accepted, hoping to influence other students, like he did for me.
Programming Intern | Summer 2014
My very first experience with coding was being thrown in the proverbial deep end. I told an Arduino what to do, and it did exactly that. It was very surreal, unlike anything else I've done before - and I liked it.
