OBJECTIVE

I am an aerospace engineer with excellent problem solving and critical thinking abilities with the power to adapt to dynamic environments. Seeking hands on experience within a company that embraces innovation and con- temporary development practices. Through my studies, I have gained extensive knowledge of orbital mechanics, space systems, propulsion, and optimization, among many other components of Aerospace Engineering. I am an e ective communicator, adept learner, and a natural leader who builds cohesive relationships with team members. I aim to put my engineering knowledge to practical, applied use. EDUCATION

Bachelor of Aerospace Engineering August 2017 - May 2021 Auburn University, Auburn,AL
