Passionate about engineering and its applications in aerospace, physics, and chemistry. At UCLA, I'm using my degrees to obtain a deep theoretical understanding of these areas and foster interdisciplinary connections. The more I learn, the more I start to recognize patterns of chemistry showing up in rocketry, statistical mechanics in protein structure, facets of thermodynamics in quantum mechanics, and more! Outside the classroom, I am dedicated to bridging the gap between theory and real-world applications by gaining practical experience through internships, clubs, and labs.After graduating, I want to continue exploring our universe through a career in rocketry. To infinity, and beyond!!!
