About
In high school, I was a very active student. I participated in my basketball program which I stayed with for four years. I did this while maintaining a high GPA, taking AP classes, and joining clubs that would benefit me and my major. I took a leadership role in some of those clubs by presenting. I participated in competitions provided by MESA, a STEM organization, and Cyberpatriot, and United States Air Force organization for students. I am a fast learner and a good student. I am very passionate about my field of engineering and I am excited to learn everything it has to offer.
