I Design to Discover.
Hey! I’m Emma James, an aspiring aerospace engineer based in Austin, Texas. By day, I conduct research on rocket propulsion and explore ideas about physics and engineering. By night, I paint, write poetry, and play original songs.
Poetry
I have written poetry since I realized words have the potential to light up the world. Check out my work!
Aerospace
I have loved aerospace since I squinted through telescopes and gazed at the stars. I wrote about it!
Leadership Roles
NASA Hunch President
As president of NASA Hunch, a new and exciting club at my high school, I have overseen 3 projects that have gone to UT for judging by NASA.
UpDraft Nonprofit VP
At Updraft Engineering,we believe anyone can think creatively and build solutions to problems. Teaching kids in the Austin area, this nonprofit was founded on encouragement and hands-on education.
Mu Alpha Theta VP
As vice president of Mu Alpha Theta, I have helped lead lessons from complex numbers to integration, uplifting my peers to test their mathematical abilities in competition.
UIL Secretary
The University Interscholastic League (UIL) is a springboard for academic competition. As secretary of UIL, I have helped coordinate meetings for and promote UIL.
Shotgun Shooting
I have competed in varsity shotgun shooting for almost 5 years. From skeet and trap to sporting and 5-stand, every competition has changed the way I focus and think about precision in action.
NSCA and SCTP have been the majority of my experience competing. This year, I will begin competing in 4H.
