Throughout my time in the military, I've proven to myself and others that I am motivated, self-driven, and able to work exceptionally well under pressure in a high-tempo environment. I've also had the opportunity to work as a research assistant through the physics department at the University of Colorado Boulder throughout most of my undergraduate career and explored additional opportunities as an engineering intern at Colorado State University, and the University of Wisconsin Madison. The total accumulation of technical skills that I gained have made me well versed in engineering design, numerical computation, and the application of experimental techniques in the laboratory environment.
