I am a graduate student at Purdue University, graduating in May 2025 with a Master's in Aerospace Engineering and a Master's in Business Administration. I also graduated from Purdue with a Bachelor of Science in Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering in May of 2023.
Within Aerospace, I have a passion for anything involving fluid flows-- I love aerodynamics, airbreathing propulsion, and hypersonics. In my graduate studies, I have been able to explore each of these areas in depth by majoring in aerodynamics. I also minored in systems engineering, which integrated well with my enjoyment of the top-level view of projects, an interest I discovered as an undergrad. After stepping in as project manager of my senior design project, I learned how much I enjoyed motivating and organizing engineering teams-- an experience that convinced me to pursue my MBA. By complementing my engineering background with a broader view, I can effectively contribute to engineering projects from both technical and leadership perspectives.
At a personal level, I try to avoid being idle as much as I can, and so I maintain a part-time job while at school, practice guitar daily, and make sure I read at least a page of my current book a day. This website provides a comprehensive overview of my projects, employment, and hobbies.
