Danica Mackesey

Although Danica’s mom always said that she was talented enough to be a singer or ballet dancer, she changed course after she realized that her artistic spirit was trapped in a Mechanical Engineer’s body. She has had the pleasure of contributing to and managing projects in a variety of applications, including diagnostic microfluidic cartridges, therapeutic hypothermia devices, robotic surgical tools, and infant transport carts. Helping to guide a medical device through the entire product development process has become a passion for Danica, so she now happily saves her singing talents for the “enjoyment” of her closest hundred friends.

Danica made the long journey to Key Tech all of the way from the University of Maryland after she received her MS and BS in Mechanical Engineering. Also Key Tech’s Director of Fun Emerita, Danica can often be spotted biking and restauranting around Baltimore in the warmer months, but may be hard to find during her winter hibernation.
