Aerospace Engineering

I was drawn to WPI for the emphasis put on project based learning and found a community that embodied the same wonder and innovation in and out of coursework. The connection between students, variety of communities and clubs, and campus wide passion for STEM keeps me engaged and excited to be a member of the WPI community. If you want to chat or have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out with my email above!

Student Alumni Society

SAS is in charge of upholding WPI traditions on campus! This means running annual events like Bridge Crossing, Rope Pull, and Haunted Higgins House! All of these are student run events and super fun to be involved with. We're also in charge of the school mascot, Gompei. I am the Membership Chair for SAS, meaning I run our weekly meetings and make sure our members are having fun!

High Power Rocketry Club

I am a part of the High Power Rocketry Club, where the team creates a rocket that launches to an altitude of 10,000 ft. The team is made up of around 200 students split into various subteams based off their interests. There are electronics and programming subteams, rocket design subteams, and payload subteams, so there is something for everyone! I am a part of the structures subteam, which is in charge of the couplings that join the rocket together (seen above). I also am the Sponsorship Officer, and coordinate with corporate and indivual donors.
