Growing up just 5 minutes from Johnson Space Center in Houston, TX. I was fortunate enough to be surrounded by engineers and innovators in my everyday life. I have always had a desire for solving everyday problems whether big or small. Through speaking with various mentors, I have honed my focus on the engineering discipline.From the age of 12, I was very lucky to play the sport of lacrosse, a passion I have been able to maintain in post-grad endeavors. Through volunteering with local youth and adaptive sports programs, I’ve learned how to work in teams of all sizes and capabilities, helping me grow personally and professionally.
