About Me:

I am a second year Electrical & Computer Engineering and Computer Science student at OSU. Science has always been the subject that I could browse forums and videos about for hours, so I decided my career should be heavily involved with scientific applications. Signals and robotics have been my focus for most of my college studies so far, with the OSU Robotics Club being the place for me to get practical experience in engineering. My most recent engineering feat has been the design and construction of a Donkey Kong Music Box with my two teammates. I was in charge of the micro-controller and the signal processing side of the project, which was confusing and rigorous, but allowed me to learn more about the different methods of sampling, processing, storing, and playing audio signals!

My main career goal is to become an astronaut for NASA and participate in missions centered around the establishment of The Gateway lunar space station, the exploration of the scientific and commercial benefits of lunar outposts, and the future efforts to send humanity to Mars. With this goal in mind, I aim to complete a Masters degree in either Electrical & Computer Engineering or Robotics. I will also complete an internship in the summer of 2021 in the field of robotics or software engineering.
