I’m studying aerospace engineering at Mississippi State University, with a concentration in aeronautics and an expected graduation in May 2027.
My Formula SAE and aerospace-laboratory work connects aerodynamic analysis with CAD, composite tooling, CNC machining, fabrication, and testing. That experience helps me think about how a design will be built, measured, and improved.
I value a repeatable process and a clear account of what the evidence supports—including the limitations and the next experiment.
