About Me

Hello to whomever it may concern. I am a senior as well at Northern Arizona University, expecting to graduate with a bachelors in Electrical Engineering in may 2025. I have had some experience in Energy and Industrial Technologies through West MEC, a trade school in Arizona. I was excited to dive into this project to learn more about clean energy production, through learning how to create our own small scale wind turbine.
