​

What is your best Penn State or engineering memory?

My best Penn State memory is my first football game. I went early with a group of my friends and we sat in the third row. That was the first time I truly felt like I was meant to be a Nittany Lion. After the game we all went to the Big O (RIP) to celebrate the win with pizza!

​

What advice would you give a first-year engineer?

My advice to a first-year engineer is to join engineering as well as non-engineering clubs. There are so many fun clubs that are offered to take advantage of and meet some of your best friends.

Anthropology 45
