I’m a senior at the University of Notre Dame, working toward my B.S. in Aerospace Engineering, with coursework spanning thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, aerodynamics, and propulsion. Alongside my studies, I’ve built a strong foundation in engineering software and programming, including MATLAB, Python, and SolidWorks. Outside the classroom, I have participated in undergraduate research with Dr. Joseph Powers, studying the thermochemical properties of shockwaves.
My journey in engineering is driven by a strong foundation of hard work, perseverance, family, and friends that have shaped who I am both personally and professionally.
Hard Work & Determination – I believe that success is achieved through dedication and perseverance. Whether overcoming complex homework assignments, contributing to the demanding efforts of a semester-long project, refining intricate designs, or leading a team, I approach every challenge with a problem-solving mindset and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
Family & Community – My family has always been a source of support and inspiration. Growing up, I learned the importance of commitment, teamwork, and integrity, values that I carry into my professional and academic pursuits.
My first leadership experience was as the captain of my varsity hockey team, where I fostered accountability among teammates, emphasizing both physical and mental well-being. I further developed my leadership skills as Vice President of Dunne Hall, managing planning and budgeting for dorm-wide and campus-wide initiatives.
Outside of my academic and professional pursuits, I enjoy spending time with friends and staying active. Some of my favorite activities include hockey, golf, skiing, and working out. Whereever I am, I always appreciate the challenge and excitement of staying active and exploring new experiences.
