About

I'm a current student of Aerospace Engineering at Florida Tech with a focus in Astronautics and then plan to obtain an M.S. in Aerospace Engineering with a concentration in combustion and propulsion. My work is right at the line between the design process and the actual manufacturing floor where the nozzles are designed using Fusion360, motor performance is adjusted in OpenMotor, and parts are cut on the lathe and mill, by myself.

I co-founded the Rocket Club at my high school, then took a break during my freshman year in college and got back into rocketry during sophomore year where I worked on two different rocket projects at once, Phantom 10K and Project Aurelian. I also currently work in the machine shop at Florida Tech. I pay attention to the small details that actually allow something to work in real life, like chamber pressure safety, liner tolerances, and ensuring the physical part matches up to the design.

Outside of engineering, I spend my time participating in Alpha Tau Omega as the Scholarship Chair and serving as Vice President of the Society of Math Students. I also enjoy making music, playing video games, and spending time with friends and family.
