Bio

Hi! My name is Zara. I'm passionate about design, engineering, and aerospace. To explore that hands-on, I funded and built my own 3D printer, which now supports commissioned print designs for clients online. That business helped fund the revival of an abandoned '92 Miata : a project that taught me to "wrench on" cars and has become an ongoing source of learning and inspiration. I'm a National Merit Finalist and recipient of my school's Presidential Award. This fall I’ll move across the country to commence my dream of studying to become an Aerospace Engineer. Alongside my studies, I teach mathematics at a local tutoring company and earn income through viola performance and music mentorship at summer camps.
