My work has been recognized by senior leadership through multiple awards, including for leading critical recovery initiatives and delivering over $1.5M in annual savings through supplier process improvements.Alongside my engineering career, I am pursuing a second bachelor’s degree in Computer Science at Oregon State University (graduating Summer 2026), where I hold a 3.97 GPA and am building expertise in data structures, algorithms, software engineering, and systems design. I have already applied these skills at Boeing by developing Python automation tools and bots that streamlined workflows, reduced manual labor, and improved production issue resolution.My professional journey began in finance at Bank of America, where I built a strong foundation in data-driven decision-making, investment analysis, and research. These skills now inform my analytical and technical approach in engineering.I am passionate about blending engineering, data, and software development to solve complex problems at scale. My goal is to continue growing at the intersection of aerospace and technology, leveraging both my engineering background and software development skills to drive innovation and operational excellence.
