Why did you choose to come to Penn State? I chose Penn State because I had a lot of close friends that went here and loved it, and also because of the great reputation of the College of Engineering.

What has been your best memory as an engineering student? My best memory so far as an engineering student has been becoming inducted into the Engineering Ambassadors. It was something I had to work at and interview for, and the work paid off. I have already met so many great people and I look forward to working with them more over the years.

What advice would you give a first-year engineer? My advice would be to study hard, because the classes only get more and more difficult. Also, I would say to study in groups because I know that was beneficial to me.

What do you plan to do after graduation? After graduation I hope to work at an engineering firm, doing something that I enjoy and am passionate about. Eventually, I hope to get an MBA and run a firm and serve as the company's CEO.

What has been your best experience outside of engineering at Penn State? My best experience outside of engineering would be joining my fraternity. Ever since I joined, I have had a lot of fun and met a lot of great people. I would definitely recommend Greek life to anyone at Penn State.
