NomineeBio
I currently instruct college-level drone courses where I combine hands-on training with outreach to younger students through drone and 3D printing camps. These camps give students the opportunity to earn their FAA TRUST certification, design and take home their own 3D prints, and even build and fly a drone. My passion is helping students see the excitement and potential in STEM fields, and I intend to further this mission by pursuing a degree in cybersecurity. As technology continues to expand, I want to prepare future learners not only in drone operations but also in the critical and fast-growing field of cybersecurity, inspiring them to pursue careers that will shape the future.
