​
A current Senior engineering student at
Jones College Prep, I am an Eagle Scout
candidate for Boy Scouts of America. I have 37 Merit Badges, 21 required for Eagle Rank and 16 additional. I am an active part of BSA Chicago Troop 1 and Boy Scouts High Adventure Troop 1.
​
I have LOVED space and astronomy since I was little and took my first trip to Adler Planetarium. I have even attended Space Camp at NASA in Huntsville, Alabama. I am interested in attending the US Naval Academy and studying Aerospace Engineering.
For several years now I have been an Intern Astronomer with the Chicago Astronomer and believe that every teen deserves access to the night sky. I strive to make that a reality by finding and repurposing telescopes so that they may be checked out overnight by teens at Chicago Public Library YOU Media Centers.
