I am a senior majoring in Electrical Engineering with a Computer Science Minor. Aerospace and systems engineering have always been two of my biggest passions and through Vanderbilt Aerospace Design Lab I have the opportunity to improve my skills and gain experience in both of these areas. Working in VADL requires complex, hands-on engineering to create a working payload system all the way from the whiteboard design phase to system assembly and testing. Going through the entire design, build, test process in an environment as high performing as VADL and in a field as fascinating as aerospace is an incredible experience and I am excited to apply my new knowledge and skills in the aerospace industry in the future.
