01About

Studying Engineering (Honours) and Commerce at Monash University. Co-founded Impulse Education, a selective-entry exam preparation company, and joined the aerostructures team at Monash High Powered Rocketry.

Researched how 3D printing could make sounding rockets more affordable, and certified on the manual lathe and mill at Chisholm Institute. Building toward an aerospace company long term, so learning both sides now: how hardware gets made, and how a business gets run.
