Activities Outside of WEPO: I am the treasurer of On My Honor Campus Girl Scout Volunteers. I am the Vice President of Yoga Club. I am involved with the Society of Women Engineers and SWE Benefitting THON.

 

Internship/Co-Op/Study Abroad Experience: I am a chemical engineering intern for Tech Met Chemical Milling in Pittsburgh, PA this summer.

 

Why did you choose to come to Penn State? The school spirit and the AMAZING Women in Engineering Program that Cheryl preached about at SWE Stayover.

 

What is your best Penn State or engineering memory? My favorite Penn State memory was the first time I was lifted up in the crowd after the football team scored a touchdown during the Ohio State game my freshman year.

 

What advice would you give a first-year engineer? Never forget how to relax. You should never feel guilty for wanting to take breaks from homework and studying.

 

What is a fun fact about yourself? The only breed of dog I've ever owned is a basset hound.
