“I really appreciate the opportunities Cal Poly has given me.

I'm a manager of CubeSat, the program that builds and launches satellites. It was surreal the night our Polysats were launched into orbit. We sat listening by the phone with our fingers crossed and everyone erupted into cheers when the CubeSats made orbit. It was so great to realize all the hard work paid off.
