About Me

I am a technical, detail-oriented student who is well experienced with technology, leadership roles, technical projects, and problem solving.

I have been awarded the Madison and Lila Self Graduate Fellowship at KU. I currently am working on astrodynamics research relating to gravity assists. I am also the software team lead for a cube satellite project and a member for the high powered rocketry club.

After I receive my Ph.D. I hope to enter the aerospace industry working in R&D for rockets or spacecraft. My current area of interest is astrodynamics and trajectory design.
