I am currently a senior in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign with a passion for space exploration! The majority of my engineering background is in solid mechanics and finite element analysis, but my interest has recently been piqued in the area of control theory and robotics; I am presently taking relevant graduate-level coursework in orbital mechanics and optimal control, and I am actively seeking a full-time job in this field for Summer or Fall of 2025. Aside from technical endeavors, I have quite a bit of experience in public speaking and teaching, which I aim to incorporate into my career somehow. I am also an enthusiast of martial arts, stringed instruments, languages/etymology, crime fiction, as well as timekeeping devices; if you share a mutual interest in any of the aforementioned topics, please do not hesitate to reach out, as a conversation with a likeminded individual makes my day!
