Growing up in South Central LA, I developed an interest in the field of math and science, joining MESA at Davis Middle School. My parents, who are hard-working immigrants, have always been encouraging of my educational journey and show their support wherever they can. My most essential goal is to graduate from CSULB with a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering. In the long run, I yearn for a career at a large company like SpaceX, NASA, or JPL. The field of engineering is bound to come with its obstacles, but an obstacle won't stop me in my path, rather it pushes me to find new ways to succeed.
