I am a second year at Penn State pursuing a bachelor’s degree in aerospace engineering. I was born and raised in Pittsburgh and will always love the city. I’ve spent my last few summers in Europe because of my father’s work, where I have enjoyed traveling and learning about the history/cultures of Italy, France, and Germany. In my free time I enjoy hiking, cooking, basketball, video games, and playing with my dogs. My first year here was a blast and went well academically, holding a 3.9 GPA. My best/favorite classes have been Math 220 and Physics 211/212. I grew up with four siblings and have always found myself helping them with their homework. From this I have developed a passion for working with others towards a common goal. Recently I have been assisting my housemates with their classes, honing my mentoring skills. I am excited to graduate and aspire to work in the aircraft or defense industry.

Random Fact: I was named after Ben Roethlisberger, GO 'LERS!
