About

As a Managing Partner at Cerys & Myers, I lead a business that specializes in paralegal services with a major focus on patents, trademarks, copyrights, and intellectual property rights. I have over five years of experience in the aviation industry, holding a Bachelor of Engineering in Aeronautical Engineering. I have also completed several executive education programs from Harvard Business School, Stanford GSB, and MIT, and I am currently focused on obtaining an MS/MBA degree starting in the fall of 2024.

Am an Innovator, a dreamer, and an entrepreneur with experience in business and leadership. I have exposure to various aspects of business formation, operation, finance, and management. I am a product presenter with a vision for in-depth education in research and analytics. An effective and inspiring speaker who identifies and leverages assets for team partners to achieve organizational goals. A fearless optimist who believes there is no failure, only growth.

With my abilities and desire to widen and reform my knowledge, and my aspiration to advance my career, I want to be an active member of an aeronautical engineering team and feel that this will lead me to an exciting future in many fields. This will enhance my core technical skills and the mindset required to manage aviation-related projects.

I aim to work in Engineering Technology in aviation and employ my knowledge to provide better solutions to complex mechanical challenges. My whole life has been a multi-faceted learning curve that has prepared me to take on the academic challenges of graduate life. Engineering represents modern man pushing the boundaries of possibilities. This has always motivated me to follow this career path. I am looking forward to embracing practical knowledge.

My dream centers on leveraging technology and propelling operations into the future, providing unparalleled customer service and delivery, with unmatched operational efficiency. Throughout my career, I have contributed to various significant projects. The most important thing for me when starting is defining the goals upfront before developing a strategy with checkpoints, using creative thinking and synthesis.

I have also gained industrial experience from other employment which has helped me develop transferable skills beyond engineering. I hope to work and live, ensuring the future and safety of seamless flights through good workmanship, innovation, and teamwork.
