Ever since high school, I have had a passion for space technologies and exploration of the unknown. I chose a career in engineering with the mindset that I will work on developing technologies that will expand our reach into the stars and ultimately one day allow me to make the journey myself. It has not always been a straight forward path, and I have hit many roadblocks on the way, but my end goal has yet to change. What has helped me to come this far is the support of my family, friends, and colleagues. Especially when it came time for me to move away from home (Boston, MA) to continue pursuing my goals, knowing that I always have their support keeps me inspired to work hard and make them proud. I still have a long way to go, but I am excited to see the types of challenges and opportunities that await. Ad Astra!
