I am a rising senior pursuing a Bachelors as well as an Accelerated Masters Degree in Electrical Engineering with a focus in Analog Integrated Circuits. My ultimate career aim is to become a NASA astronaut: I’m shooting for the stars and aiming for the first crewed mission to Mars! I endeavor to utilize my technical aptitudes to engineer technologies that aid scientific discovery. My earth space science interest informs my passion for space instrumentation, renewable power systems, and sustainable nanotechnologies. As a NASA-partner Eclipse Ambassador, the importance of science communication, stewardship, and community are the heart of my pursuit of public service. Whether it may be on a marine research vessel at sea or at McMurdo Research Station in Antarctica, I see myself, in the field and at the bench, serving science and engineering for the benefit of all humanity. Before college, I attended online homeschool my entire life. I enjoy hiking, jump rope, and dance.
