Why did you choose to come to Penn State? I chose Penn State because of the academic reputation and for the awesome AE program. My entire family has attended and I am a proud 3rd generation Penn Stater!

 

What is your best Penn State or engineering memory? Definitely the football games, even though I'm not a huge fan of football. There's so much energy, passion, and school spirit, and I love every second.

 

What advice would you give a first-year engineer? Take it all in. These four (or five) years go so much faster than you could possibly imagine!

 

What is a fun fact about yourself? I got in a roller coaster accident in Germany
