About My Academic Interests

This page highlights some of my biggest academic passions and the inspirations behind them. These areas reflect who I am and how I think — hands-on, curious, and always wanting to improve how things work.

Academic Interest List

Mechanical Engineering
- Growing up, I had the opportunity to work on vehicles and machinery. I loved not just fixing things, but thinking about how I could improve their design or make them more efficient. That’s when I realized engineering was a natural fit for me.
- One major influence has been a YouTube channel that builds all kinds of wild machines—like a Barbie Jeep that hits 80 MPH! Watching those builds sparked my imagination and made engineering feel exciting and creative.
- Another thing that drew me to this field is the math and physics behind it. I’ve always enjoyed solving problems, and engineering lets me apply those skills to real-world challenges.
HVAC and Plumbing
- HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) is a trade I’ve always respected. I enjoy hands-on work, and this career keeps you moving and solving practical problems. It’s also a solid backup plan if I ever switch paths.
- Plumbing is another trade I’m interested in. I love working outdoors and being physically active, and plumbing gives you the chance to do both while also building technical knowledge.
- If I pursue these trades, I hope to one day start my own HVAC and plumbing business. It would be tough, but I know I’d enjoy the hard work and freedom of working for myself.
Flight
- Airplanes and jets have always amazed me. The idea that we can break the sound barrier is mind-blowing. It makes me wonder — could we ever come close to the speed of light?
- My fascination with flight started with the Air Force. Watching military jets at air shows sparked my interest in aviation and flying someday myself.
- One day, I’d love to help design new aircraft that are faster, more efficient, and more advanced than anything we have now. Maybe a flight from Minnesota to Florida could become just a quick hop, skip, and jump through the sky.
