“I am a dedicated Mechanical Engineering student and research assistant at the UTEP Aerospace Center, passionate about advancing the cutting-edge science of the aerospace industry. My work focuses on innovative projects, including lunar research aimed at supporting future space exploration missions. Through my involvement with organizations like the Women of Aeronautics and Astronautics and the Sun City Rocket Team, I’ve found a supportive community that has empowered me to grow my technical skills while providing meaningful outreach. One of my greatest motivations is to be a role model for women and children in STEM, showing them that their dreams in science and engineering are within reach. Ultimately, I aspire to make space accessible for everyone, fostering a future where the stars belong to us all!”
