Driven by a mission-focused and goal-oriented mindset, I excel as a cadet at the United States Military Academy, where I’m developing a foundation in leadership, engineering, and strategic analysis. This summer, I interned with the Department of Defense’s Joint Chiefs of Staff J5, where I applied data analysis and policy review skills to enhance strategic planning initiatives, gaining insight into high-level defense operations. I also expanded my practical engineering experience with Yates Construction, where I learned to lead and communicate effectively in high-pressure environments. These experiences, combined with my academic training and military discipline, are shaping my skills in problem-solving, leadership, and resilience—qualities I’m eager to further develop in graduate school..
