Why did you choose to come to Penn State? I grew up in State College and always knew I wanted to go to Penn State.

 

What has been your best memory as an engineering student? I really enjoyed going to Baltimore for the Society of Women Engineers. I learned a lot from the experience and had a lot of fun!

 

What has been your best memory as a Penn State student? My best memories as a Penn State student are all at THON. You can really feel proud of our school and our community when you see the dancers, kids, and everyone all in support of the fight against childhood cancer.

 

What advice would you give a first-year engineer? My best advice would be to always seek out help. Find a mentor, an older student, a professor who you ca go to for help. Take advantage of office hours and review sessions they provide.

 

Give me one fun fact about yourself. I love to travel and I have been to 10 foreign countries.
