Hi, I’m Sam! I’m a first-year aerospace engineering student at Saint Louis University, where I’m excited to combine my love of science, problem-solving and big picture thinking. I’ve always been curious about how things work and motivated by the idea of pushing boundaries, so studying aerospace feels like the perfect path for me.
Back in high school, I kept myself busy with leadership roles, clubs and academics, but I also started my own small business, Forever Florals. What began as a fun experiment with wire and creativity grew into a way for me to share handmade designs with others. Through that experience, I learned a lot about entrepreneurship, organization, and staying adaptable.
Outside of school and work, I love exploring my creative side, whether that’s through designing new floral pieces, meeting new people or just finding small ways to make life brighter. I’m also have an adorable cat Tolouse, and love keeping all kinds of fun pets. At the end of the day, I’m all about balance; working hard toward my goals while still making space for joy, creativity, and connection.
