Education
Riverdale High School
High School Diploma
Riverdale High School is a small school with unique opportunities. I took multiple self-taught classes for credit focusing on basic industrial design skills. These skills included the ideation process, sketching, and modeling in the CAD program Autodesk Fusion 360 using the internet as my learning resource.
In the winter term of my senior year, I taught a high school class at Riverdale to a small group of students. This class similarly focused on designing products and modeling them in Autodesk Fusion 360.
