Profile Biography
I attended the University of Texas at Austin from 2016-2020 and earned my B.S. in Aerospace Engineering and minored in Russian Language.
During my time at UT, I interned with BAE Systems as a part of the Rocket Research and Development Team working on designing and testing solid rocket motors. I also worked with Firefly Aerospace as a design engineering intern working on the design and analysis of their orbital transfer vehicle.
After graduation, I started working at NASA Johnson Space Center as a Flight Controller trainee in the Russian Segment Visiting Vehicle Office (VVO), which is responsible for providing VV rendezvous, trajectory, and system expertise for the ISS team.
