Proudest Moment: One of my proudest moments was manufacturing a 40 inch fiberglass nose cone at the end of my junior year and third year on SARP. The nose cone was a culmination of a full year of hard work and two previous years of troubleshooting and lessons learned. It was very satisfying seeing the nose cone and holding it in my hands knowing that trial and error as well as the engineering process succeeded.
I am an aerospace engineering student dedicated to the advancement of rocketry and space exploration. I am a member of the Society for Advanced Rocket Propulsion (SARP) and currently lead the Structures subteam composed of approximately 50 students. Beyond education, my hobbies include running, rock climbing, snow boarding, swimming, hiking, backpacking, and essentially anything else that will get me outside exploring the PNW. After graduation, I will be starting my career as a Project Engineer at Janicki Industries in the Military Aerospace Fly Away Assemblies division where I will continue working with advanced composites.
