Goals and interests

Career goal

I'm looking to go on to work for the engineering, or engineering research department of an aerospace oriented company for several years following my graduation from North Carolina A&T's Bachelor's degree program. Following these years of work, I intend to go to graduate school. The direction that I'm aiming to go into, following graduate school, is heavily focused in the design aspect of engineering.

Graduate school interests

I endeavor to attend graduate school in pursuit of a Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, a Master's in Business Administration (MBA), and finally a PhD in Aerospace Engineering.

Outside the classroom

My hobbies include long distance running, fishing, frisbee, and video games. I also enjoy sports such as soccer, and football.
