Welcome to my e-portfolio! Here you can check out my projects, experiences, and work in detail.
I’m a Senior (class of 2025) at Duke University studying Mechanical Engineering with a certificate in Aerospace Engineering. I’m currently working towards presenting my original research paper on optimizing formation flight at the upcoming Constructal Law Conference in Bucharest, Romania. I’ve also completed 2 internships with Lockheed Martin Aeronautics, most recently as an F-35 Flight Test Engineer.
I’ve been fascinated by flight since I was a ten-year-old in awe of a Google Earth flight simulator. My passion for aviation grew into a desire to get involved in the field, as I became an AOPA You Can Fly Scholar, allowing me to train for and receive my Private Pilot Certificate in 2021. At Duke, I’m the founder and President of Duke Aviators, a group of aviation enthusiasts developing a custom-built on-campus flight simulator and making flight more accessible for students. I’m also a 4-year member/team-lead of Duke AERO, a high-powered rocketry team competing annually at the Spaceport America Cup. Ultimately, I love sharing my passion for flight with others and seek that in everything I do. Other hobbies of mine include snowboarding, theater, and cheering on Duke basketball as a Krzyzewskiville Line Monitor.
