Education

I graduated from the University of Colorado, Boulder with a Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering in 2020 and earned a bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Washington, Seattle in 2017. At the University of Washington, I co-founded the Husky Satellite Lab and led the development of HuskySat-1, the first cubesat built by University of Washington students. HuskySat-1 successfully launched in 2019 and is currently operational on-orbit.

Miscellaneous

• I have a deep love for space exploration and great interest in space resource utilization
• I think high performance integration and interpolation methods are fun (I even wrote a thesis about a parallelizable integration technique).
• I believe that peanut butter-filled pretzels are the absolute pinnacle of snacking.
