I am leading the engineering projects of the Adept Rocketry Division. ARD is a dedicated team of students who design, build, test, and launch high-powered rockets. My role is to lead the technical development of our L3 rocket to compete at the Australian Universities Rocket Competition in September 2024. As the most powerful and complex rocketry project we have undertaken to date, my role demands I ensure all aspects of the rocket development are completed to a high standard for both safety and functionality.

I was a Team Lead of a student team designing and building High-Powered Rockets. We successfully launched a L2 rocket to 3,000ft at over 10G, with custom-built avionics package including wireless telemetry, as well as a dual-deployment recovery system. This role has given me vital experience in running engineering projects, crucial insight into the engineering design process, and an understanding of the benefits of applying systems engineering concepts to practical projects.

As part of the recovery subteam, I researched and proposed solutions to successfully recover our model rocket after reaching its target apogee. I compared different recovery methods and the physical ways of ejecting the parachute from the rocket, and learnt a lot about how large projects with many internal subsystem interfaces are managed.

I am involved with designing and building the scientific payload for our student-built rover. This payload is tasked with sampling simulant lunar regolith to identify water concentration, and extracting this regolith to deposit at an In-Situ Resource Utilisation Module. I developed skills with electronics and microcontroller programming through learning how to control a linear actuator, as well as CAD and 3D-printing where I designed the attachment to fix the moisture sensor to the linear actuator. This has been an exciting opportunity to develop my experience in mechanical and electrical design, microcontroller programming and also the systems engineering processes required to manage such a large and complex student-run project.

I am very excited to start my internship with Neumann Space! I'm looking forward to learning as much as I can from such an innovative company and gaining real-world experience with electronics, software development and space technology.

Tutor for students in Year 11 and 12 in Specialist Mathematics, Mathematical Methods, Chemistry and Physics.I have built a positive and engaging learning relationship with my students, and I enjoy supporting them to achieve their goals and improve their abilities in the subjects that I enjoy teaching.I also find it a valuable way to solidify my own learning, reinforcing the basic concepts of maths and science that I am building on as I continue my study of engineering at University.

My team won the Adelaide Uni Warman Competition and competed at the South Australian competition against UniSA and Flinders, where we had to design and build a device that deposited a specific number of tennis balls into certain tubes located on a 2m long table, without touching the table outside of a specified start-zone. Under weight and size constraints, this challenge was difficult yet enjoyable, and allowed me to apply my learning in CAD, system design, microcontroller programming, and simple robotics. This challenge allowed me to gain vital experience in mechanical design and construction, where we utilised bearings and electric motors, built a solid but lightweight aluminium structure, and 3D-printed parts.

I worked as a bar/wait staff at Eat@Polly's in The Cube, where I serve customers, prepare food and drinks, and clean.
