ABOUT DAKOTA OHARA
Hi! I graduated from USC with a B.S./M.S. in Astronautical Engineering. I have tested my mettle through the project management of complex, large-scope products with tight deadlines and quick iterations in the Rocket industry. As a result, I have proven my worth as a fast learner who is never afraid to stand in the room with those more experienced, ask questions others would fear asking, and sift through a myriad of options to prioritize the work that needs to get done by the people that need to do it, as well as do the work myself when necessary (which is often).
