About me
I am currently a junior at Dublin High School, deeply passionate about aerospace engineering. I have hands-on experience as a member of the Dublin High Gael Force Robotics Competition Team, where I’ve worked on complex mechanical and engineering projects, and the Dublin High Aerospace Rocketry Team, where I’ve contributed to designing, building, and launching rockets. These experiences have given me valuable technical skills in design, problem-solving, teamwork, and leadership. Additionally, I’ve attended the National Student Leadership Conference at Johns Hopkins University for Aerospace Engineering, which has strengthened my skills as well. My other hobbies include skiing, playing soccer, and traveling!
My goal is to inspire the next generation of engineers by sharing what I’ve learned and helping students discover how exciting and rewarding aerospace engineering can be.
Let’s take learning to new heights by signing up for the Aerospace Visionaries Club!
