I'm currently a doctoral student at Iowa State University studying aerospace engineering. My focus is on cube satellite design optimization. I did my undergraduate degrees in astronomy and physics at the University of Iowa. There, I was involved with the Plasma Wave Group in the Physics & Astronomy Department helping to build the RIME and REASON transmitter hardware for the upcoming JUICE and Europa Clipper missions. That work earned me two internships at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory where I continued work on the same missions. My future goal is to work at NASA Johnson and assist in human endeavors in space.
