Hi! I'm Andrea - I am a graduate from Harvey Mudd College with a passion for aerospace and increasing equity in STEM. If it were not for the outreach programs I had access to and the mentors who empowered and inspired me, I would not be where I am today. Throughout my life, I hope to contribute to initiatives that empower youth to consider STEM as a viable career option, particularly those who are traditionally discouraged from pursuing these fields, such as young women and students of color.

I fervently believe in a world where students from all backgrounds have the opportunity to find their passion and the freedom to pursue their dreams. I believe that outreach programs help people identify their own untapped potential. It did so for me, and I hope to help it do so for others. For this reason, I am taking time after I graduate to volunteer abroad with an organization based in Tanzania, ProjeKt Inspire. Check out my website to learn more about my plans while I am in Tanzania and about my mission at large. Thank you for taking the time to consider supporting my endeavor to improve STEM equity around the world as I explore and grow before entering the workforce.
