Raleigh, North Carolina, United States
Growing up near the site of the Wright Brothers' first flights, I developed a lifelong fascination with the engineering of flight. My passion inspired me to study aerospace engineering at North Carolina State University, where I have developed skills in modeling, programming, fabrication, electronics, and mechanical intuition through academic work and personal projects. Beyond academics, my experiences as a teaching assistant and head sailing instructor have shaped my philosophy of leadership from the lenses of both a leader and a team member. As I join the aerospace industry, I'm excited to collaborate with others to solve challenging problems.
