Jacob (he/him)
Student Technician / Teaching Assistant
Hi, I’m Jacob. I am majoring in Marine science here at UNE and work at the Makerspace. I enjoy creating things and working on projects, personal or otherwise, and am happy to help anyone with any of their projects as well. I like to think I bring a cheerful mood to the Makerspace, but that’s really up for personal interpretation as my jokes can sometimes fall flat, but I hope you enjoy them anyways.
