Make the stars feel a little closer; it's something I set my mind on before I had even finished first grade. As a sophomore pursuing a B.S. in aerospace engineering, I'm now closer than ever to realizing my ambitions. I use lessons learned through pursuing personal projects, as well as practical experience, to help expand my engineering scope. Earning my glider pilot's license has given me invaluable insight into the workings of aircraft and basic flight principles, and countless hours of 3D modeling have led to an extremely strong foundation in multiple programs.
