Beyond Engineering

I began horseback riding in 4th grade and competed for many years, earning recognition across numerous competitions. Although I stepped away during high school due to a change in environment, I still continue riding recreationally whenever I have the opportunity. My passion for horseback riding has never faded, and horses continue to be my favorite animal. The sport has strengthened my discipline, adaptability, and ability to stay composed through constant communication, precision, and awareness.

I started country dancing during the first semester of my sophomore year of college at Hurricane Harry’s, a local dance hall that quickly became one of my favorite places to unwind and connect with others. Since then, I have continued going back almost every week, developing a strong passion for both line dancing and country swing. Country dancing has given me an outlet for confidence, rhythm, and social connection while teaching me the importance of timing, coordination, and learning through repetition.

My interest in golfing during my sophomore year of college after taking a kinesiology course that introduced me to the sport. With the encouragement and support of my family, I continued learning and practicing consistently over time.

I am actively involved in volunteering at large-scale campus and community events at Texas A&M University. My experience includes participating in initiatives such as Adopt-A-Street and Big Event, where I contribute to maintaining a clean and sustainable environment.
