a positive change on aerospace systems with my knowledge.

EDUCATION:
University of Colorado Boulder- Boulder, Colorado Fall ‘20- Present
Bachelor of science in Aerospace engineering
 Member of CU Robotics club, CU Sounding Rocket lab, CU Field hockey
 Member: WoAA- Women of Aeronautics and Astronautics, AIAA
AIAA Diversity Scholarship (2023): Selected to attend 2023 AIAA AVIATION Forum & Exposition as a AIAA Diversity Scholar

SKILLS:
Programming: C++, MATLAB

Passions: Playing guitar, Camping, Hiking, International student advocacy

Professional/ Workforce training:

 NASA Lucy L'space Mission Concept Academy (MCA): Fall 20
Engineering lead. Responsible for the payload integration and vehicle design, contributed to the deployment scheme,
managed the team, coordinated between the science and the business team.
Used Solidworks to model different prototypes and form a design for the rover. We built a semi-autonomous walking
rover whose main purpose was to find and categorize water-ice deposits on Mars.
 NASA Lucy L'space Proposal Writing and Evaluation Experience (NPWEE): Spring 21
I learned to effectively write a concept proposal that turned innovative ideas into reality and gained experience in the
process of writing, reviewing, and scoring proposals through the lens of a NASA reviewer.

Engineering projects:
CANVAS CubeSat mission: Measures VLF wave energy in low-Earth orbit which originate from lightning and ground-
based transmitters.
Skills: Testing flow and dependencies, satellite and assembly testing. Spring 23
 MCA Engineering team lead: (NASA L'space Lucy MCA Project)Built a semi-autonomous rover
Preliminary Design Review: NASA L'SPACE MCA Final PDR -Fall 2021 - Google Docs
Skills: Model based systems engineering, structural design, CAD, proposal writing.

EXPERIENCE:
 Engineering Peer Mentor 08/2021 - Current
Collaborated with first-year engineering students to help them navigate through engineering. Assessed students one-
on-one to gauge interests and better meet changing demands.
 Financial Assistant:
Responsible for organizing and dealing with the expenses of the BOLD center at CU which is a Broadening opportunity
through leadership and diversity organization.

Leadership:
 NASA Lucy L’Space ambassador: Trained to present conferences about the NASA Lucy mission.
 Engineering lead: NASA L’space Mission Concept Academy
 Executive board Member (Communication’s chair): South Asian Student Association
 Communicate within different student organizations, communicate with student government.
