Why did you choose to come to Penn State?  Penn State had exactly what I was looking for in terms of study abroad opportunities that allowed me to stay on track with my major.

What is your best Penn State or engineering memory? When I found out that some of the girls that I had met at WEPO were actually my neighbors in my dorm. Needless to say, we became best friends!

 

What advice would you give a first-year engineer? Going to office hours early on in the semester whether or not you feel like you need to, will definitely show your professor that you care and want to do well in their class. This will make it easier to establish a relationship with your professor in huge class settings.

 

What is a fun fact about yourself? I speak Chinese
