My passion for engineering began when I stepped into my high school freshman year intro to engineering course, and has narrowed down to aerospace and defense through my exposure to lower level concepts in coursework and extracurriculars. I am a mechanical engineering major with minors in data science and economics, who hopes to work for leading edge companies in the field of aerospace engineering. Vanderbilt Aerospace Design Lab has helped me hone in on my current skill set, as well as expand it beyond what is taught in standard coursework. I am honored to work with a dedicated and innovative team that feeds off of teamwork and collaboration.
