I am a hands-on engineer who likes to see a project through its entire development cycle: model it, simulate it, build it, and test it, then return to correct whatever the data shows is wrong. That cycle is what drew me to aerospace. Airframes and propulsion systems leave little room for shortcuts, and I respect that a simulation either holds up on the test stand or it does not.

I currently divide my time between Formula Buckeyes, where I run CFD and structural FEA on the aerodynamics and chassis package, and an independent rocketry program in which I design, simulate, and fly my own hardware from a blank sheet. Along the way I have built a solid foundation in composite layup, CNC milling, and 3D printing, since I prefer to understand a part by building it rather than only modeling it.

Outside of both, I mentor younger students in CAD and fabrication, continuing what several mentors did for me when I was starting out in FIRST Tech Challenge. I hold a 4.0 GPA at Ohio State and have been on the Dean's List every semester. I am seeking a Summer 2027 internship where I can bring that same hands-on approach to a professional engineering team.
