Fun Fact

Amid COVID lockdowns in 2020, I spent three months teaching myself to design and build my own FPV racer drone.

Passion

I love the natural beauty of the outdoors and activities that keep me outside. I hope that my future efforts as an engineer can contribute to enhancing the sustainability of the aerospace industry and create positive advancements in reducing the environmental impact of aircraft.
