Welcome All! I’m Tana Joy Larsen



I am a 26 year-old Mechanical Engineering Undergraduate Student at Colorado State University, with a range of skills and experiences under my belt so far, continuing evermore.
Continuing my education has been quite an amazing journey. Each page on this site delves into my journey thus far, and will be continually updated as I share my Engineering and Creative pursuits. You will find my project pages for my Mechanical Engineering Program at CSU, as well as past project and some in progress or yet to come.
I am currently the Chief Engineer for the EV Vehicle in the Formula SAE Student Organization, Ram Racing, at CSU. I also work at the Idea2Product Additive Manufacturing and 3D printing lab part-time, and am proudly supported by the First-Generation Award Program through the Community for Excellence at CSU. Returning to University to continue my education has been an immense gift, and I strive to pay it forward to others in due time.
I enjoy cooking especially large, all Vegan and gluten-free meals. Finding new creative projects to bite my teeth into excites me more than most things. I have three beautiful cats and a lovely and loving partner of almost 5 years. We dream to someday build a naturalistic Earth ship style home with too many plants to count. I may also ramble about new technologies, creative problems, or the art of any and all forms that catches my eyes, ears, and heart, but you will get used to it 🙂
