I am a sophomore at MIT from the suburbs of Chicago studying aerospace engineering and minoring in material science. My goal is to use this knowledge to design advanced propulsion systems that will be used to explore our universe. I pursue this interest through my membership in my school's rocket team, where I am a member of the Liquid Propulsion sub team. There I helped design our engine and am working with companies to have our design 3D printed. I also worked in the Space Propulsion Laboratory at MIT as an undergraduate researcher, assisting a graduate student with their research. Outside of academics, I am on the MIT Men's Soccer Team and a member of Christians on Campus.
