I am a junior majoring in mechanical engineering. I am passionate about aerospace engineering, specifically aerodynamics and propulsion, for the purpose of space exploration. By joining the Vanderbilt Aerospace Design Laboratory, I aspire to strengthen my critical thinking skills and widen my mechanical engineering problem solving abilities by applying the theoretical knowledge I have learned in my classes to tangible projects. I believe that joining the right design team can help me reach my full potential, and I am very excited to begin working with the design team of the VADL.
