Aspiring aerospace engineer at UCLA with hands-on experience in design and fabrication, including building and flying a remote controlled aircraft from scratch. Proficient with Onshape and MATLAB, I am eager to apply my skills and knowledge to contribute to innovative aerospace projects and gain practical experience through this internship.

I have developed a diverse professional background through hands-on roles that emphasize leadership, technical skills, and customer service. As an Employee/Trainer at San Diego Rock Supply, I managed cashier, tractor operations, and clerical duties while training new employees and overseeing delivery setups. My responsibilities included ensuring secure machinery handling and closing procedures. Additionally, as a Grocery Clerk at Vons, I maintained merchandise presentation, provided exceptional customer service, and addressed various customer needs. These experiences demonstrate my ability to manage operations effectively, collaborate within teams, and deliver results in dynamic environments.

I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering at UCLA, with an expected graduation date of June 2027 and a GPA of 3.15. My coursework includes foundational topics such as Engineering Design, Differential and Integral Calculus, and Elementary Fluid Dynamics, providing me with a strong theoretical and practical understanding of engineering principles. At Steele Canyon High School, I graduated with distinction, earning a GPA of 4.76 (weighted) and receiving recognition as an AP Scholar with Distinction. My academic background has equipped me with analytical, problem-solving, and teamwork skills essential for success in aerospace engineering.
