Hey there!

I'm Laurel Foster

I wrapped up my time at Stanford by studying abroad in Paris in fall of 2023. I am a mechanical engineer looking for work in energy, aerospace, or anywhere that I can learn new things. Outside of the classroom, I was on the university's varsity sailing team, president and then RA for my sorority, Alpha Phi, and a docent at the university's two museums, the Cantor and the Anderson. I was born and raised in Corona del Mar, CA. If I am not working or on the water, you can probably find me crafting or tinkering with things. I am an avid traveler, love live music, and am always keeping busy.
