About
I am an Aerospace Engineering major with a minor in Engineering Leadership Development and a Space Systems Certificate. My academic career is defined by a drive to bridge the gap between theoretical design and real-world application. Currently, I am applying my skills at the Student Space Programs Laboratory, where I am actively working on NASA’s LunaRecycle Challenge. This experience has given me critical insight into sustainable space exploration and complex systems engineering. Beyond the classroom and the lab, I am an entrepreneur at heart. I Co-Founded LionLift, a startup dedicated to optimizing UAV performance by increasing the payload-to-weight ratio. This venture allows me to combine technical engineering challenges with business strategy and product development. Outside of engineering, my life is grounded in my Catholic faith and a love for continuous learning. You can often find me listening to podcasts on natural sciences and history, seeking to understand the world from different perspectives. I also draw on the discipline and focus I developed as a former competitive swimmer and lifeguard.
