I am currently a junior at Auburn University, studying Aerospace Engineering in the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering. I am a private pilot and also a member of the Professional Officer Course (POC) in Air Force ROTC Detachment 005, where I currently serve as an Assistant Flight Commander for the Cadet Development Flight in a wing comprised of 175 cadets. In the summer of 2024, I completed a demanding 20-day Air Force Field Training course where I was challenged mentally, physically, and academically, and evaluated on my ability to lead. As a result, I have secured a spot to serve as an Air Force officer upon graduation and commissioning in December 2026, where I am competing for a pilot slot. My long term career goal is to attend the US Air Force Test Pilot School and utlimately apply to NASA's astronaut program.A lifelong baseball player, I am also a third year pitcher and outfielder on the Auburn University Club Baseball team. In my spare time, I enjoy flying, skydiving, wake surfing and welding, building go carts and small race cars.
