Besides being infatuated with planes, I had many strong influences at home. My father introduced me early on to science fiction in all its various forms, especially those related to space exploration and discovery., My parents also believed in LEGOs, and I would build things for hours. We enjoyed the design and ingenuity aspects of the toy, and I feel that the toy truly helped us develop and refine creative skills, test our imagination, and learn the limitations of what could be built. These influences at home, learning about NASA’s successes, and the encouragement of my family lead me to a profession in engineering.

Besides being a par part of SWE and promoting STEM, I am also a teaching assistant (TA) for a class devoted to freshmen engineers at the Saint Louis University (SLU). These students are either majoring in mechanical or aerospace engineering and the course helps them understand what engineering entails. Many go into it because they see that the field is growing and that there is a decent amount of money to be earned. Therefore, my goal as a TA is to clarify their definition of engineering by drawing from my own observations and experiences. I also help students through the challenges of their first year study with study tips, creating assignments. In other words, I do my best to help them figure engineering out and ensure that this is the correct area of study for them.= Related Links = [[Saint Louis University]] [[Saint Louis University Priorities|Saint Louis University Student Priorities]] University Innovation Fellows Spring 2016: [[Akshit kalantri|Akshit Kalantri]] [[Christine maida|Christine Maida]] [[Aaron phu|Aaron Phu]]
