Pitch for Flight Mechanics Engineer Role – Lockheed Martin

Growing up on my family’s farm, I was always fascinated by the mechanics of motion—whether it was the aerodynamics of birds in flight or the efficiency of machines. This curiosity led me to pursue a Bachelor’s in Aerospace and Aeronautical Engineering at Stanford, specializing in propulsion, alongside a minor in Mathematics and Scientific Computation, where I delved into algebraic topology. To deepen my expertise, I earned my Master’s and Ph.D. in Aero/Astro Engineering from MIT, focusing on advanced flight mechanics and aerodynamic optimization.

My passion for physics, mechanics, and aviation aligns perfectly with the role of Flight Mechanics Engineer at Lockheed Martin. I have conducted independent research in aircraft stability, interned at leading aerospace firms, and worked on ventures pushing the boundaries of aerodynamics. My interdisciplinary background, including a minor in Environmental Science—rooted in my upbringing in a farming family—has given me a unique perspective on sustainable aviation solutions.

Beyond academics, I thrive in collaborative environments, having built a strong global network through fellowships like Yale Young Global Scholars and PROMYS. A firm believer in discipline and performance, I maintain a dedicated fitness routine, balancing physical and mental endurance—both essential traits for high-stakes engineering challenges.

At Lockheed Martin, I aim to contribute my expertise in flight mechanics, combining technical innovation with real-world problem-solving to drive the future of aviation. Let’s redefine what’s possible in aerospace together.

"Before The Coffee Gets Cold" by Toshikazu Kawaguchi || Book Synopsis

In a hidden café tucked away in all the bustle of Tokyo, disconsolate patrons are given the rare chance to travel back in time. But, there’s a catch: they must return to the present before the coffee in front of them cools, or risk losing themselves eternally in the past.  " Before The Coffee Gets Cold ", a novel by author Toshikazu Kawaguchi, tells of four heartwarming, contemplative tales of a magical cafe's patrons that all interweave in the most little, yet enchanting ways. The first, a forlorn woman who seeks to mend a strained relationship before it becomes irrevocably broken, while the second hopes to acquire an explanation from a departed companion. A third character wishes to revist and undo a moment of regret, and the final traveler longs for one final brush with someone they had lost. The immutable and all-consuming nature of time unveils itself as each of the four's journeys progress, gently guiding them to acceptance.  The book uses charming prose juxtapo...

AEP Reflection 5 “Deep and meaningful”

Welcome back you all to another AEP blog! Today, Ill try my best to express things through words! Probably! Today was crazy.. currently in my car and I think I have to word things well here.. So, lets get started!  Today in AEP class, the atmosphere was calm, with the usual quietness filling the room. It felt like a regular session as we were handed a single sheet of paper for the activity just like the last meeting. This simplicity was becoming a pattern~and I found comfort in it.  As we settled in, the familiar voice from Ms. Disa’s phone once again guided us through the task. This time, we were presented with a checklist that asked us to select words we believed best described who we are. On the back of the sheet, the task became more challenging, as we had to choose the words that we felt defined us “perfectly”. It made me think harder about what truly represents me. When it came time for me to reflect, I chose family, art, and leadership. It was difficult to narrow down t...
