I am originally from Kansas City, MO and hope to one day work for a small start-up in a technology-related field. Currently, I am employed part-time at FirePoint Innovations, which is a company headquartered on WSU's main campus. We are tasked with interfacing with Army officials on current research projects including autonomous drone teaming, technology transfer and more. I originally became a fellow in the Spring of 2018, encouraged to do so by my older fellows at my school.
