I'm currently at CU Boulder working as a research assistant in Dr. Schaub's AVS Lab. In tandem, I am pursuing my M.S. in Astrodynamics & Satellite Navigation.
I previously worked at Vast, Varda, SpaceX, Blue Origin and NASA doing GNC Engineering internships. I've also worked as a part-time Aerospace Engineer at SpaceNav, where I worked on Orbit Determination for Space Situational Awareness.
My passion lies in GNC Engineering and I want to continue helping awesome spacecraft fly.
This summer, I am based out of Long Beach, California for a return internship at Vast. Reach out if you want to chat, and you can download my resume here, or check out my other platforms!
