| Introduction | I'm currently working at NASA HQ, where I am an Engineering Program Manager. My work mainly consists of studies and planning, like architecture designs for new space missions. Previously, I was at JPL for a few years. I graduated from MIT with an SM in Aero/Astro Engineering. My BA is from St. John's college, in Philosophy and the History of Math & Science. While at St. John's, I taught myself how to build violins and cellos. I built an award-winning cello in my Junior and Senior years. (Yes, cellos take a while to hand carve. :) ) |

Never mind the turtle. Don't you think you're sure to win?
Winning isn't everything in the first place. I think people naturally win when then do what they are interested in doing; it's easier to run faster than the other person if you love running more. I like writing and reading more than almost anything else I've ever done, so I hope that it's going to be a win for me!
