“It was my childhood dream to build and launch my own rocket. That’s the main reason I wanted to study aerospace engineering.
When I heard about the opportunity to attend Mississippi State and actually pursue that childhood dream, I immediately knew that’s where I wanted to be.
Since I’ve been at MSU, I’ve helped launch a rocket as a member of the Space Cowboys, but more importantly, I’ve gained a greater understanding of the engineering process.
Now, I can dream more and accomplish more. ”
