"Rocketry has been a passion of mine since the beginning of 9th grade, dedicating myself to the program from the onset. The past two years have been such an amazing experience that I’m grateful for. I never thought that I would qualify for TARC in the first year, let alone place 19th in the finals, which enabled myself and other team members to participate in the 2007 NASA SLI. When I am not working with rocketry, I am focusing my energies on a science career of undetermined fields of study. I will be attending the Westinghouse Science Honors Institute to broaden my scope of scientific study. My future ambitions are to attend the Air Force Academy if accepted in the hopes of flying military aircraft. I’m sure anything and everything is possible when one works hard enough."
