“A few things that inspire me are my family and their constant support of me and my dreams. Without the support of my friends and family, I wouldn’t have the confidence I have in myself now to achieve my goals. People constantly frown upon people who come from the Bronx, New York, especially if they are first-generation students, so having the support system that I have and the goals that I have is what helps me continue on my journey to achieving my goal of one day becoming an aerodynamic engineer for a Formula 1 team.”
