EDUCATION:  Klein Oak High School - 2003 Baylor University, BS in Mechanical Engineering Masters of Science in Mechanical Engineering

What I remember most about college is the fun experience with networking and in depth industry-backed research projects. I am currently a rotor systems design engineer at Bell Helicopter. I am responsible for the design of the rotor system for the newest super-medium commercial helicopter, 525 Relentless. The SPE scholarship allowed me to pick a school of my choice and it guided me toward a degree and profession in engineering. My advice to students is don't let the cost of college deter you. As an engineer, you will be well compensated upon employment; therefore, able to pay off any student debt. Also, most companies provide tuition assistance for graduate degrees which is very enticing for those already who have incurred student loans.
