Developing Python simulation software to validate satellite attitude determination and control systems by modeling high-fidelity sensor behaviors—including IMU, sun sensors, and magnetometers—and a Vispy 3D attitude visualization tool to replicate real-world space performance. Implementing and testing attitude estimation algorithms such as TRIAD and q-method against corrupted sensor measurements from the virtual sensor suite. This role involves research into orbital mechanics and advanced dynamics to drive accurate simulations for satellite operations. I also mentor new members on the team, and presented a poster on our work at a student conference, where I spoke with attendees about the team's approach and findings.

Directed a student executive team in the end-to-end design and deployment of accessible STEM programming for 300+ youth. Successfully managed strategic corporate sponsorships, venue logistics, and partner outreach to drive organizational growth and program sustainability.

Dedicated 100+ hours to supporting youth from low-income backgrounds by applying ADHD-informed pedagogical research and tailored learning strategies to bridge academic gaps. My approach focused on synthesizing complex concepts into accessible frameworks to foster resilience and long-term self-efficacy.
