Over the summer, I interned at the California State Capitol under Assembly Member Warren Furutani. I created policy summaries for the assembly member, and drafted new policy proposals for international trade to Governor Brown of California.
Since joining RPL, I have flown 4-inch, 6-inch, and 8-inch diameter rockets reaching over 60,000 feet with some rockets even simulated for over 300,000 feet and traveling at Mach 4+. In the lab, I have worked with composite materials like carbon fiber, fiberglass, G10, and Kevlar and their associated properties—each material playing a role in the final design and fabrication.
At USC I have had the opportunity to pursue my love for the outdoors – I backpack, camp, hike, and more throughout California. One of my favorite wilderness experiences in Los Angeles is my backpack trip up San Gorgonio, the highest peak in southern California!
