Describe your potential job duties:

Aviation Consulting  

In what ways did the Polytechnic and/or Purdue help make you uniquely qualified for your new job? 

I feel that the School of Aviation and Transportation Technology equipped me with the knowledge necessary for my job. I've learned principles of accounting and economics and how I can apply those principles to the aviation industry. I think those skills will prove to be useful as I embark on this new chapter of my life.  

Who would you like to thank as you finish your time at Purdue and start your career?  

My organization, the Aviation Technology Student Council. If I hadn’t joined ATSC as a freshman, I definitely would not be where I am today. I would like to thank them for the opportunity to become a leader in my own way.
