Inspired by Ole Kirk Christiansen, I began building LEGO creations before I could even speak in full sentences, sparking a lifelong passion for innovation and design. I am completing my service of 8 years aboard the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower as an Electronics Technician First Class—leading and training over 70 Reactor Operators. I also served as an instructor at the Nuclear Power Training Unit in Charleston, SC, where I played a key role in shaping young sailors' understanding of Nuclear Physics, technology, and operation. This experience and a Bachelors of Science in Nuclear Engineering Technology from Excelsior University has created a strong technical background that is aimed to maintain and enhance the instrumentation and safety systems within nuclear or comparatively impactful industries. Additionally, I am passionate about pursuing a Master's in Architecture at Cornell University, where I will blend my creative and technical skills.“This silence belongs to us, and every single person out there is waiting for us to fill it with something”
