About
I am a dedicated college student with a 3.6 GPA and a strong passion for physics and astrophysics. I am actively working toward meeting the requirements and am on track to begin my physics coursework. In high school, I performed well in physics, and I am committed to continuing that success in college. Alongside my studies, I have developed a strong work ethic by managing multiple jobs and currently serve as an Assistant General Manager, where I have gained valuable leadership, time management, and problem-solving skills. My goal is to pursue graduate studies in physics at UWM, with a focus on astrophysics and research in pulsars, black holes, and gravitational waves. Through dedication and perseverance, I aim to contribute to the field of astrophysics and expand our understanding of the universe.
