I've co-oped for four semesters at a technology startup. I've raised $100K for and taken a student organization of 25+ on worldwide tours, including to Carnegie Hall. I currently work part-time at GTRI on business development software customization and added an internship with Masten Space Systems in January 2009.
I want to work for a small space startup - I've always been interested in space and in small companies. I want to love my job. I want to wake up in the morning and want to go to work. We'll see where it leads.
