Internship/Co-Op Experience: Last summer I did an REU at the University of Virginia, and this summer I am doing an REM (Research Experience and Mentoring) here at Penn State. I have also worked at the Applied Research Lab this past year and this summer.

 

Why did you choose to come to Penn State? I chose to come here because it has one of the best engineering programs out there!

 

What has been your best memory as an engineering student? One of my best memories as an engineering student was actually when I was tutoring physics 211. I just loved the feeling when what I was saying finally clicked, and I loved seeing how the other engineering students grew throughout the semester.

 

What has been your best memory as a Penn State student? I absolutly LOVE going to football games! I would say that some of my best memories as a Penn State student have been at Penn State football games. I just love how united it feels standing in the student section during a game.

 

What advice would you give a first-year engineer? You have a great support system set up already for you and you can do this! No matter what struggles you face, you never have to face them alone, and most of the time, you can find someone who faced those struggles as well who can help guide you through them.

 

Give me one fun fact about yourself. I play the harp and I just recently bought my first harp!
