From a young age, I’ve been fascinated by flight and space, always watching planes and dreaming of exploring the stars. A key moment that shaped my path was meeting an astronaut, which inspired me to dive deeper into space exploration. In 9th grade, I took courses in rocket propulsion and aerospace engineering, where I learned how rockets work and discovered how much I enjoyed the technical side of space missions. These experiences confirmed my interest in aerospace and also sparked an interest in sustainability and terraforming, as I realized how critical it will be to make space exploration and future human settlements sustainable.

As I continued my studies, I became more passionate about aerospace engineering and the role of STEM in solving real-world challenges. I realized that learning how to fly would not only help me understand flight from a pilot's perspective but also connect with the practical side of aerospace technology. My interest in sustainability and terraforming grew as I explored how these fields could help make other planets habitable and support future human missions. I’m excited to continue learning about aerospace, space missions, and how science and technology can help us shape a better future, both on Earth and beyond.
