A Bit About Me
I am a second-year undergraduate student majoring in Mechanical Engineering and Physics. I am the Founder and President of the Gaucho Rocket Project, a student-led initiative with the goal of landing a rocket and expanding the capabilities of amateur rocketry. Outside of UCSB, I am a regular snowboarder, multi-instrumentalist, director, actor, and solo traveler. After graduating, I plan on pursuing a Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering or Materials Science.
