About me

I'm currently a Senior undergraduate student at the University of Michigan, majoring in Aerospace Engineering.

Currently, I'm a Propulsion and Structures engineer with Michigan Aeronautical Science Association (MASA), the Stoves Team Lead of BLUElab Sa' Nima' Collaborative, Research Assistant in the Michigan Exploration Laboratory (MXL) and member of Women in Aeronautics and Astronautics (WAA).

2025

CubeSat Flight Laboratory (CFL), Belcan Extended Range Ground Reconnaissance (BERGR), Singapore Students Association (SSA)

CubeSat Flight Laboratory (CFL)

As the Project Manager and Structures Lead on Team Delta within the CFL, I oversee the coordination of spacecraft development and lead the mechanical design of our 1U CubeSat. The CFL develops educational CubeSats over a 2.5 month period twice a year.

Belcan Extended Range Ground Reconnaissance (BERGR)

As a Power Engineer, I oversee the development of the autonomous drone swarm and Mars rover power system on BERGR. BERGR collaborates with Belcan on a continuous 3-year project.

Singapore Students Association (SSA)

As an authorized signer and Senior Advisor of the SSA at the University of Michigan, I am involved in event planning and project management to build community among Singaporean students on campus.

2024

Michigan Aeronautical Science Association (MASA), BLUElab Sa' Nima' Collaborative, Women in Aeronautics & Astronautics (WAA)

Michigan Aeronautical Science Association (MASA)

As a member of the Structures and Propulsion subteams, I am the responsible engineer for the development of a 'Valve Seat Sealing Test Stand' in Propulsion, and the 'Thrust Transfer Structure' in Structures. The team hopes to break the collegiate record for the largest student-built bi-propellant rocket in the United States, launching to 50,000ft (15.24 km) in December 2025.

Bluelab Sa' Nima' Collaborative

I am currently the Stoves Team Lead, spearheading the implementation of a Rocket Stove design that I was the lead engineer for from September - December 2024. Sa' Nima' is an organisation that aims to provide sustainable engineering solution for rural, low income families living in Guatemala.

Women in Aeronautics & Astronautics (WAA)

I am a member of WAA's mentorship program at the University of Michigan, part of the Women of Aeronautics and Astronautics (WoAA) chapter.

2023

Michigan Aeronautical Science Association-Dearborn (MASA-D), Society of Women Engineers (SWE), Engaged Scholars Learning Community

Michigan Aeronautical Science Association-Dearborn (MASA-D)

I was a member of the Mechanical subteam, and worked on the design of 3D printed electrical mounts for the rocket's payload, that was launched during the 2024 Spaceport America Cup in the 30K COTS category.

Society of Women Engineers (SWE)

I was a member of SWE's University of Michigan chapter, and contributed to the 2024 Girl Scouts Engineering Exploration Day (in collaboration with MASA-D & Blue Origin) to introduce engineering and rocketry to girls in Grades 2–5.
