Science, technology, and aerospace have been my passion since I was a young child. Although I started my work experience in catering, my desire to pursue my dream to have a career in aerospace and be on the forefront of applied engineering has persisted. This passion has led me to an undergraduate degree in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Colorado, Boulder. My academic success is attributed to my strong work ethic and dedication to excel. I started in the catering industry where I succeeded at achieving a management position within two years. I transitioned to the information technology industry and accumulated over 8 years of experience in cellular IT, IP networking, and IT cybersecurity. While attending CU Boulder I was employed as a research assistant for the COMPASS Lab where I worked on signal processing, GNSS testing, as well as co-authoring two, peer-reviewed papers. I am eager to contribute my experience in IT and GPS research to the future of aerospace.
