Summary

I’m an Aerospace Engineering student at Saint Louis University with hands-on experience designing, testing, and building aircraft. I served as the Aerodynamics Lead for the Aerodynamic Design Team, where I worked with my peers on aircraft analysis, troubleshooting, and flight testing, and I’m now part of a senior design project building a research jet. I also helped bring back Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity on campus, focusing on accountability and teamwork, and I’ve taken on leadership roles through ROTC, including serving as the Battalion S3 (Operations Officer). Along with my academics and leadership roles, I’ve competed in ROTC challenge competitions that tested my decision-making and performance under pressure. These experiences taught me adaptability, resilience, and how to lead teams while strengthening my technical skills with tools like MATLAB, SolidWorks, and ANSYS.
