Name: Kahley McBeth
Hometown: Temple, PA
High School: Oley Valley High School
Activities Outside of WEPO: I'm hoping to get more involved with AWC (Association of Women in Computing) and ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) this year!
Internship/Co-Op/Study Abroad Experience: Reading Crane & Engineering
Why did you choose to come to Penn State? Broad selection of majors & classes; world class engineering programs
What is your best Penn State or engineering memory? Getting an A in my first major-related class :)
What advice would you give a first-year engineer? Don't let yourself get behind on your work! Keep a planner, make a schedule, and stay on top of things. But don't forget to give yourself some time to relax, too; it's all about balance.
What is a fun fact about yourself? I've been snorkeling in Panama and ziplining in Costa Rica. :)
Kahley is a sophomore studying Computer Science
