Why did you choose to come to Penn State? The atmosphere. Nothing beats feeling like you are at home when amongst 50 thousand other people, all just as happy to be there. From football games to just classes every day to the amazing campus, I realize every day how glad I am that I picked Penn State.

 

What is your best Penn State or engineering memory? My favorite memories are just anything with the good friends I made. It took a while to find good friends, but once I did Penn State really became my school.

 

What advice would you give a first-year engineer? Try to relax. Your first semester will probably go nothing like how you envisioned it for years, but know that's okay. Go with the flow as much as possible and remember, grades are important, but so is being happy and healthy.

 

What is a fun fact about yourself? Ughhh, I am not fun! I spend all of my money on concerts, generally will tag along to anything anyone wants to go to.
