Internship/Co-Op/Study Abroad Experience: I studied abroad for 3 weeks after my freshman year in Singapore, and after my sophomore year I am interning for Bayer in Berkeley, CA.

 

Why did you choose to come to Penn State? I liked that everyone I met at Penn State was so friendly and seemed so happy to help me to achieve my goals.

 

What is your best Penn State or engineering memory? Being at THON during Family Hour and seeing everyone hugging and swaying to the music

 

What advice would you give a first-year engineer? Try something new! You can join a club or sport, start doing research, or even study abroad your freshman year, so don't be afraid to step outside your comfort zone!

 

What is a fun fact about yourself? I went for a hot air balloon ride at sunrise while on vacation in Turkey!
