I have a background in aviation with 12 years
experience as a professional pilot and flight instructor. My fascination
with spaceflight and passion for exploration, knowledge, science, and
engineering led me back to school in 2017. In May 2023, I earned my
Bachelor of Science degree in Aerospace Engineering from Embry-Riddle
Aeronautical University (ERAU) in Prescott, Arizona. I’m currently a
graduate student pursuing a Master of Science degree in Human Factors
from ERAU. I intend to combine my background in flight operations with my
engineering and human factors knowledge, skills, and experience to contribute to the
development of human spaceflight with an emphasis on human-rated
spacecraft systems and commercial astronaut operations.
