I am an electrical engineer fueled by a deep fascination with how science can manipulate nature and a lifelong passion for innovation. Inspired by historic achievements like the Apollo moon landing, I believe that true engineering thrives on the synergy of multiple disciplines.Earning a master’s degree in Astronautical Engineering allowed me to explore how various fields of science and engineering collaborate to solve complex challenges. From mechanical and aerospace engineering for rocket chassis design to electrical systems and software for navigation, I’ve learned that teamwork is essential for success.My 7 years of experience working with the Navy has further enriched my understanding of collaboration across disciplines to achieve shared goals. I excel in managing projects to ensure the timely delivery of high-quality outcomes, whether working independently or within a team.I am eager to connect with others who share my passion for using science and engineering to propel humanity into the next generation.
