About

I am currently an Engineering student at the University of Kentucky in Lexington, KY and hope to go into either Aerospace Engineering or the Medical field. I am a part of the Scholars in Engineering and Management program, SEAM, which is a selective program to further develop qualities such as creativity and leadership while also developing a business mindset. Specific qualities I brought with me from my hometown in Danville, KY include a love of politics and leadership from my experiences on different athletic teams. My love for politics came through the Junior statesmen of America program and has led to my election for to Freshman Senate in the Student Government Association.
