Why did you choose to come to Penn State? I really wanted to go to a large, college-town university with a great engineering program. My dad and brother both went to Penn State too, so it really felt like home to me!

 

What is your best Penn State or engineering memory? There are too many! From WEPO, to football games, to nights in with my friends eating pokey stix; they're all amazing memories.

 

What advice would you give a first-year engineer? Don't be afraid to reach out! There are so many people at Penn State who want you to be successful. You're not alone on your journey to becoming a world-class engineer!

 

What is a fun fact about yourself? I'm ambidextrous!
