My name is Katie Pezaris and I am a studying civil engineering at the University of Rhode Island. I chose this major because I enjoy creative problem solving and have always been fascinated by architecture.

As far as experience goes, I have been renovating apartments for nearly 10 years. In the past I have built fire pits, furniture for numerous locations, and I am a jerry rigger on a daily basis. My cars get a lot of my attention along with the manuals for them. Often times I bypass mechanics to do my own work, so I am frequently on websites like ifixit.com.

In high school I received 1st place for the Engineering Olympics held throughout the state of Rhode Island. Most recently, I have been a part of Habitat for Humanity through the University of Rhode Island.

Generally in my free time, I make art, fix things around the house, and listen to music.
