Bio

Zoe, a junior from Dayton, Ohio, is pursuing mechanical engineering. Outside of M&M, she is involved with the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and has participated on the small projects team. Zoe has also participated on the Society of Women Engineers Grand Prix team. This summer, she will be continuing an internship at Hi-Tek Manufacturing, where she will machine precision components for aviation and gas turbine engines. In her free time, Zoe enjoys reading, watching movies and playing volleyball.

"I believe M&M offers an excellent support system for all women pursuing engineering. Engineering can be daunting, especially as a woman, but by building connections and sharing experiences with other women engineers, M&M helps build up the confidence of its many members. As a first-year student, M&M truly helped me maintain my resilience through failure and learn that it is OK to struggle. M&M has helped me become the successful engineering student I am today and will continue to improve my professional and academic skills as I continue at Purdue."
