High School was the point in my life where my passions for tinkering and solving problems coalesced into my goal to pursue a career in engineering. Through my evolvement as president of our school's robotics team, I not only discovered my passion for engineering, I found a platform to help grow that passion in others. It was also at this time that I began to branch out on my own to find new educational experiences. I found NASA high school aerospace scholars and was selected to travel on-site at Johnson Space Center to collaborate on projects with fellow scholars and present them to NASA engineers. I am thankful for my High School education, and for the way it spring-boarded me towards success in my future.
