• 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.
