I’m an RPI dual aerospace and mechanical engineering major, a Society of Women Engineers member, a nationally recognized ethical hacking practitioner and a former Target retail shelf stocker. I have a goal of helping to shape the future of aeronautics and space exploration.

Some distinguishing STEM fun facts about me:
I’ve never had a B.
I drive a stick-shift car in LA.
I’ve built 10 Star Wars Lego helmets.
I’ve been photographed in front of the UCAS, Fire Scout and Global Hawk autonomous vehicles.
I’ve walked the F/A-18 and F-35 fighter-jet manufacturing assembly lines.
I’ve seen the James Webb Space Telescope in person.
I’ve been aboard the Concorde.
I’ve stood beside one of the world’s few quantum computers.
I can solve your messed up Rubik’s cube in record time.
