About Me

Professional Experience

My experience spans aircraft structural engineering, materials research, operations, and team leadership. Each role has strengthened my ability to adapt quickly, solve practical problems, and deliver dependable results in fast-paced environments.

Structural Engineer

AAR | Hot Springs, Arkansas
August 2026 – Present

Promoted to a full-time Structural Engineer position after completing a successful internship with AAR. I support aircraft maintenance and repair operations by evaluating structural conditions, developing practical engineering solutions, preparing technical documentation, and collaborating with engineering, quality, and maintenance teams to help ensure safety, compliance, and airworthiness.

Structural Engineering Intern

AAR | Hot Springs, Arkansas
May 2026 – August 2026

Supported aircraft structural engineering activities in a hands-on maintenance environment. Worked alongside experienced engineers and technicians, assisted with structural evaluations and repair documentation, and gained practical experience applying engineering principles to real aircraft challenges.

Undergraduate Research Intern

Institute for Clean Energy Technology, Mississippi State University
May 2024 – May 2026

Conducted experimental research on HEPA filtration materials used in demanding environments. Performed tensile, thickness, water-repellency, and compression-recovery testing; evaluated material performance after environmental exposure; analyzed technical data; and contributed to research documentation and presentations.

Front Desk & Operations Associate

Days Inn Hotel & Suites | Starkville, Mississippi
October 2023 – March 2024

Managed guest services, reservations, payments, operational records, and day-to-day front desk activities. Coordinated with housekeeping and maintenance teams, resolved guest concerns, and helped maintain efficient hotel operations.

Sports Program Lead

Wichita State University | Wichita, Kansas
August 2022 – September 2023

Supported the planning and supervision of university recreational sports programs. Coordinated schedules, assisted participants and officials, promoted safe competition, and helped create a positive and organized environment for students.

Beyond engineering

Competitive volleyball and tennis have strengthened my teamwork, discipline, resilience, and ability to stay composed under pressure. Away from the court, I enjoy hiking, exploring new places, and spending time in nature—experiences that keep me curious, observant, and open to new perspectives.
