Why did you choose to come to Penn State? It's a highly ranked engineering school and it has tons of amazing extracurriculars!
What is your best Penn State or engineering memory? My best memory is THON each year. It's amazing being a part of something so big and for such a wonderful cause.
What advice would you give a first-year engineer? Take advantage of every opportunity you get! One day it could lead to you being a WEPO Lead or some other amazing thing you didn't necessarily think was possible.
What is a fun fact about yourself? I can lick my elbow.
Nicki is a senior studying Mechanical Engineering
