Last year, as a Lab Assistant at the Pearson Hall Makerspace, I supported daily operations by engaging with users, managing machine queues, and maintaining the fabrication space in both Physical and Digital Fabrication areas. In my second year, I am focused on managing a senior design team and overseeing the development of a full-stack application to streamline and consolidate makerspace processes.
