Who I Am

Innovative

From NASA HUNCH to Los Alamos Lab — I build things that haven't existed before and solve real problems.

Driven

I've presented to NASA, led teams across multiple internships, and I'm just getting started.

Purposeful

Every project I touch has a mission behind it — national security, education, or community impact.
