Bruce Ritter Email and Phone Number

Hi! My name is Bruce Ritter and I am an artist, NAR-certified rocket builder, and aspiring astronomer.I love the earth and stars, and I hope to make a career in astronomy and STEM education. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Astronomy at the University of Washington. I gained skills in education while volunteering at Kimball Elementary and Montlake Elementary schools in Seattle, WA. I grew my skills as an educator working as a tour guide at the Seattle Museum of Flight. My experience there also taught me about curating museum exhibits and customer service. As an assistant teacher with LASER Childcare, I developed extensive childcare and classroom management skills as well. I love learning new skills and have learned to manage my time and responsibilities excellently.I am currently a bike salesman and technician at Gregg's Cycles in Seattle, WA where I am developing my sales management and bicycle engineering skills. I am also a current member of the North Seattle Rocketry Club: dedicated to spreading knowledge about civilian rocketry. I received the 2023 Washington Space Grant Scholarship for my work on a scientific payload as part of the NSC Rocket Club in collaboration with Amur State University. Working on this and other projects, I have developed a list of skills that include CAD design drafting, soldering, and coding. My other interests include drawing, playing guitar, learning new languages, and basketball. I love to experiment with new hobbies and learn as much as possible.I am currently seeking internship and employment opportunities where I can grow and develop as an aerospace researcher, engineer, and/or educator. I hope to work for team-driven organizations invested in the future of space travel and technology.
