I aspire to become a tenure-track professor in computer science and engineering. This position will maximize my impact on the world's next generation of engineers, allowing me to inspire and encourage through research, teaching, and collaborative efforts. I am continuing on the quest to become a top tier research engineer in the development of a high-fidelity, mission-critical, emergency drone response systems while championing diversity in STEM and developing avenues of opportunities for others as I have been so fortunate to have received.
