As a student pilot since high school, my professional passions grew from a love of flying. Since then, I graduated from Mississippi State University in 2022 with a Bachelor's Degree in Aerospace Engineering. Through my degree I completed projects across several aerospace disciplines, including aircraft design, infrared optics, and structural load analysis. In solving technical problems, I further gained interest in the legal and policy problems affecting the aerospace industry. Both honors courses and encouraging mentors affirmed that a career involving the law was something worth pursuing, and I enrolled in the University of Mississippi School of Law for the class of 2025. Participating in the nation's only Air and Space Law J.D. Concentration has exposed me to the nuances of administrative law, procurement law, international space law, aviation business, and many other disciplines impacting the air and outer space. Since enrolling, I have interned in several in-house legal roles in addition to doing policy and strategy work in Washington D.C.
