Favorite college memories:  “When asked what my favorite memories are from my years in AE at U of I, two things come to mind.  The first is seeing and meeting astronaut Mike Hopkins at his talk about life on the International Space Station in Spring of 2017.  The second is attending the drone light show for the 75th anniversary of the department in Fall of 2019.”

Immediate plans: “I am planning to continue on to graduate school for a master's degree in aerospace engineering.”

Where would you like to be in 5 to 10 years? “I would like to be working for a private spaceflight company helping to develop technology that will continue humanity's mission to develop civilization on the Moon and put astronauts on Mars.”
