Ever since I was young I had a strong feeling that I was given the ability to create. I have always had a strong affinity for hands-on work and solving problems through creative means. It is for this reason that through the years I have found my passion in engineering, specifically aerospace engineering. Currently I am working on getting as much hands-on experience as I possibly can. I am taking an internship class at my high school that is helping me get set up with a smaller aerospace company that will allow me to work on their team and get experience in the field. In the future I see myself working for companies such as Boeing or general dynamics. Specifically, I want to be a systems engineer to design new unmanned aircraft as well as improve on what we currently use. Currently drones are viewed by the public as spyware or killing machines, but they can be so much more. We are already implementing them for smaller tasks such as surveying or in some cases construction, but I also believe that they can see wide implementation in humanitarian aid. I understand that there is a lot of debate surrounding the use of unmanned aircraft, especially in foreign countries, however the way I see it there is so much potential for good. One of the biggest concerns with the use of drones, especially for combat related reasons, is that they often end up doing as much or more bad than good. I seek to improve these systems and make them more reliable, taking stress off both the pilot and civilians, while reducing civilian and soldier casualties.
