Why did you choose to come to Penn State? I loved the school spirit which also resulted in amazing networking connections. Penn State also had so many opportunities that allowed me to travel, do research and expand my interests.

 

What is your best Penn State or engineering memory? My best memory was being able to speak at the Leonard Center Speaking Contest.

 

What advice would you give a first-year engineer? Never be afraid to ask a question or seek help. Professors, staff and students all want you to be the best you can be!

 

What is a fun fact about yourself? Last semester I visited 7 countries!
