Growing up in Omaha, Nebraska, I developed a passion for STEM throughout my early education. In particular, all things aerospace have always piqued my interest, from rockets to planes to satellites. After graduating from Creighton Prep, I was thrilled to make the next step in my educational journey in Durham, North Carolina.

As a lifelong science and technology enthusiast, the aerospace and medical device industries have perservered as my primary areas of interest. I have continued pursuing that passion through my studies of Mechanical Engineering (with a certificate in Aerospace Engineering) at Duke University, while supplementing my interest in business through a minor in Economics.

My interests often lie at the intersection between various parts of any project, whether it be more technical problems (mechanical, electrical, and control system integration), or the more general intersection between engineering and business. In the future, I hope to push the boundaries of commercial spaceflight through a thorough understanding of all the engineering and business decisions that make it possible.
