Howdy, I am junior aerospace engineering major from Woodbury, MN. While at Texas A&M I have participated in undergraduate research, the engineering honors program, a Co-Op and an aerospace industry internship. All of these have given me a better perspective of the opportunities available within the aerospace industry which I plan to bring and share with our members.

I believe members come first, and my hope is that each member of AIAA TAMU gains valuable knowledge that can help them navigate their career field. To that end, I have spearheaded multiple initiatives designed to help members. I am an Aerospace Engineering major from Pleasanton, TX, and I have experience in design teams, undergraduate research, internships, the engineering honors program, and more. Please get in touch with me if you have any questions, suggestions, or concerns!

Howdy, I am a Senior Aerospace Engineering major from Houston, TX. I joined AIAA during my freshman year to connect with other students with similar interests. I believe AIAA-TAMU to be an integral part of the growth and success of students of any major who are interested in the aerospace industry.

Howdy, I am a Senior Aerospace Engineering major also pursuing minors in Biomedical Engineering and Mathematics. I joined AIAA my Sophomore year and soon after became an officer with the hopes of connecting fellow students to industry, and to encourage camaraderie amongst members. My experiences gained in AIAA have had a drastic impact on my career aspirations, improving my performance as an undergraduate research assistant, helping me succeed as a student, and much more. I hope by sharing my experiences with other officers and members that I am able to help improve the organization and garner interest in Aerospace.
