I’m interested in clearing space debris and junk. I believe that if humanity wants to travel to space and colonize the Moon and planets like Mars, we must fist clear the space debris that is orbiting Earth and keeping us trapped on Earth.

Project Work
In my engineering course we had multiple projects where we had to work together. One such example is when me and my team had to make a carnival game. We decided to make a catapult where you would have to launch the beanbag into the ring. We had a point system where you could earn less valuable prizes.
Community Work
I have over 100 hours of community service through a program called AFJROTC. In the program we learn about multiple vital traits of leadership. During community service events we go to places like schools to help clean them up or donate to food banks or charities.
