I started my first semester of college at the University of North Florida and heard about a club of engineers working on a race car, called Osprey Racing and joined, not knowing how much experience I would gain over the years.

In my first year in Osprey Racing, I learned the basics of working as a team and started working with the composites team, and began to teach myself surfacing in Solidworks. I picked it up fairly fast and designed a sidepod that unfortunately we did not use.

During this season, I assisted in carbon fiber layups, mold prep wing assembly, and generally helped around the shop.
