Goals and interests
- Career goal
I hope to find a job in the aerospace community, be it with a private company, or with the federal government. I perform well in all areas of my studies, but structural analysis seems to interest me the most, with aerodynamic principles and their applications following.
- Graduate school interests
I am interested in entering the graduate program at Virginia Tech, but am also open to other college programs, should they prove to be of equal or higher quality. As stated in a previous section, I would like to focus my masters work on structural analysis, however I am also open to other avenues of study.
- Outside the classroom
A few of the things I enjoy doing in my spare time include: working on equipment, golfing, exercising, and numerous methods for testing my problem solving skills, among other things..
