Goals and interests

Career goal

I have a huge passion for racing and therefore would like to work in one of the major racing challenges like WEC, Indy Car, WRC, DTM, or Formula 1. I would like to do that for the first couple years of my career and eventually transition into the automotive industry in Germany. Preferably I would like to work for Daimler. If I get the chance in my later career days I could see me as a teacher or even professor at a university in Germany or anywhere around the globe.

Graduate school interests

I am a graduate teaching assistant for the SAE program on campus. I enjoy working on cars, improving and maintaining designs, and managing a team of students with similar interests.

Outside the classroom

motorsports, swimming, hiking
