I have completed 3 internships with the NASA Pathways Internship program at Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) supporting the Artemis mission working in aerothermodynamics, launch vehicle and lander induced environments, plume surface interaction, and flight dynamics. At MSFC, I helped found the NASA Marshall Intern Coalition (MIC) to bring about better connectivity among interns and advocate for the pathways program to center leadership. I study Aerospace Engineering at Virginia Tech where I pursue many leadership opportunities such as the Orbital Launch Vehicle Team Vice President, Marching Virginians clarinet section leader, and AOE department ambassador. My passions lie in staying at the cutting edge of technology, pushing humanity forward, and pursuing our drive as a species to explore and discover. I believe this is done through strong leadership, connectivity, collaboration, and outreach; as such, I choose to make an impact everywhere I go to foster these traits in our communities and teams.
