Brief Biographical Sketch:

Hey there! I am currently a sophomore at Florida Polytechnic University in Lakeland, FL. I am majoring in Mechanical & Industrial Engineering with a concentration in Nanotechnology and a hope to work with space exploration in the future. When I am not being a total space nerd I am organizing outreach events for FL Poly - which is why I am SO excited to be teaching at SPLASH this year! Getting to bring my love of science (and my love of Harry Potter) to bright, young minds seems like a great time!

Can't wait to see you there!
