About Me
Hello! My name is Riana and I recently graduated from the University of California, San Diego with a B.S. in Aerospace Structural Engineering. My mission in life is to help build a future for humans in space and enable us to become an interplanetary species.
I specialized in composite structures and have previously studied Mechanical Engineering. Through my education and experience I have learned many skills which can be applied across various engineering disciplines to help make my mission a reality.
I was born in Pakistan and immigrated to the United States as a teenager. Growing in a developing country, I had to overcome many obstacles to pursue my passion in engineering. This not only strengthened my resolve, but taught me never to take the freedoms and opportunities America provides for granted.
When I’m not working, I enjoy salsa dancing, surfing and playing the piano.
Please feel free to explore my portfolio and contact me if you’re in need of my skills.
