Summary

I'm passionate about pursuing mechanical engineering. I love problem-solving and have developed leadership and technical skills through experiences like my Virginia Space Coast Scholars' internship and my presidency of my high school’s Ecology Club. As an African American, I'm determined to break barriers in the field, inspire future Black engineers, and positively impact my community and beyond. I am currently seeking summer internships related to engineering.
