Why did you choose to come to Penn State? I chose to come to Penn State because of its career placement services, THON, and the school spirit. It was really important for me to able to get a job after graduation and Penn State engineering does a great job of making that happen.

 

What has been your best memory as an engineering student? My favorite engineering memory so far has been the E-House bridge building competition. My friends built a bridge out of popsicle sticks that I was able to stand on without it breaking.

 

What has been your best memory as a Penn State student? My best memory as a Penn Stater was definitely winning the Michigan game!

 

What advice would you give a first-year engineer? My advice is to put yourself out there and really try to get involved even if you're out of your comfort zone and to get organized!

 

Give me one fun fact about yourself. I originally refused to apply to Penn State because a lot of people from my high school went here but it turned out to be the best school for me and I absolutely love it!
