View Profile

I'm a college freshman pursuing degrees in aerospace engineering and computer science. I really like math and science, especially physics, and I also have a deep enjoyment for history. I often like to explore the wonders of rocket science and anything space-related. In my free time, I like to code, go for runs, walks, bike rides, watch anime (my favorite is One Piece), and do puzzles. I hope to help you all out no matter what it may be.

Note from Schoolhouse: This series has sessions with required attendance. If you need to miss a required session, submit an absence using the "Submit Excused Absence" button on the series page. Multiple unexcused absences may lead to a suspension of your Schoolhouse account.
