Bio

Hello there! My name is Noelle and I'm a high school senior who's super passionate about all things STEM, especially as I strive to use engineering to create real-world impacts for my community. I've been selected as a Pete Conrad Scholar, Coolidge Senator, and NASA Space Apps Challenge Global Finalist, and these awards have been designated for my various self-led efforts in science and engineering. Most notably, I've served as the team captain of a student engineering team where I led the development of LotICE, a novel innovation in aircraft de-icing that promises to make the aerospace industry more efficient and sustainable. I've also interned at Boeing, NASA, and George Mason University, each with a separate project related to engineering/data analysis. Beyond STEM, I care deeply about mental health advocacy and educational outreach, and I've furthered these passions through my role as a suicide hotline operator at Samaritans Hope and an educational writer at Fiveable/DemiDec. I've been accepted to attend Caltech in the fall and hope to enroll in their Interdisciplinary Studies Program, uniting my passions amongst diverse subfields of engineering and physical sciences to drive real-world impacts as I continue my lifelong commitment to STEM.
