I'm a Computer Science & Astronomy student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I'm passionate about applying my software development skills to the space technology industry.
I'm a part of Illinois Robotics in Space (IRIS), where I work on embedded systems for the robot, mostly working with the motor drivers. I also volunteer as a Campus Ambassador for the Gift of Life Marrow Registry, raising awareness and recruiting donors.
In my free time, I enjoy playing strategy board games like Catan and Dune, reading science fiction (currently reading Red Rising), and gardening 😊.
