Plans
I have been accepted to Purdue University, The Pennsylvania State University, and The University of Akron (decision pending). I plan to study aerospace engineering and participate in a music program like marching band.
I’m interested in space exploration as a way to preserve Earth’s resources and how companies like Blue Origin and SpaceX are recycling the technology used to do so. My goal is to work at one of these cutting-edge organizations in the area of sustainable space travel.
