Aerospace + Nuclear Engineering

Engineering at the crossroads of space & the atom.

Aerospace engineer at the Georgia Institute of Technology — electric propulsion researcher, fusion intern, and B.S./M.S. student

I am an aerospace and nuclear engineer, and my raison d'être is to be a part of humanity's journey out of the well and beyond to the stars. I believe that the technological development and commercialization of nuclear power in the space domain is one of the most exciting and pressing fields of our time. Currently pursuing my BS/MS in Aerospace Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology, my academic and professional journey exists at the intersection of deep-tech engineering, space policy, and strategy.

My technical expertise lies heavily in electric propulsion and plasma physics. Rather than focusing solely on the theoretical, I thrive in collaborative, international environments where we build, test, and optimize complex systems. I believe the next era of space exploration will be unlocked by advanced propulsion and robust energy solutions, and I am passionate about turning science-fiction possibilities into flight-ready realities.

Beyond the laboratory, I bring a strong foundation in M&A finance and business operations. Having worked in investment banking, managed non-profit financial operations, and managed investment portfolios for myself and others, I understand the tough economic realities that deep-tech startups face. I strive to bridge the gap between technical innovation and market viability, a perspective not many pure engineers possess. Outside of my professional life, I am actively involved in my community, an avid adventure-seeker, and remain dedicated to cultivating meaningful, lasting relationships, old and new.
