Graduate of Cornell University with a Masters of Engineering in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering.Graduate of SUNY University at Buffalo having earned Aerospace Engineering B.S. and Mechanical Engineering B.S. I graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University at Buffalo for my undergraduate education, earning a dual Bachelors degree in Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering. To continue my education, I attended Cornell University to pursue a Master of Engineering in Aerospace Engineering. I recently graduated from Cornell in May 2024. While at Cornell, I have been working on my M.Eng. project through the Autonomous Evasion of Space Debris and Adversaries (ADVERSARY) Laboratory. My focus in the lab is to design and 3D print parts for custom-built drones with the goal of making them autonomously fly and self-chart flight paths. In my free time, I have been taking flight lessons and studying for a Private Pilot's License. Doing so has enabled me to apply concepts I have learned in classes, like aerodynamics and flight dynamics, to real-life scenarios. Aside from flight school, I spend my time training for upcoming athletic races. These include the 2024 Athens Marathon and an Ironman 70.3 triathlon.
