Why did you choose to come to Penn State? I chose to come to Penn State because of two reasons. The first is that my Dad went here and exposed me to Penn State and I fell in love with this campus and atmosphere. The second reason is because of the outstanding Architectural Engineering Program at Penn State.

What has been your best memory as an engineering student? My best memory would have to be winning the popsicle stick bridge competition in my first year seminar.

What advice would you give a first-year engineer? Find something you love to do and pursue it, whether it has to do with engineering or not. We all need that one thing that gives you a break from homework. Find yours and pursue it!

What do you plan to do after graduation? After graduation I plan on working in the Construction Industry.

What has been your best experience outside of engineering at Penn State? My best experience outside of engineering was when I joined the Penn State Women's Rugby Team. I absolutely love getting to play rugby with those girls. It gave me the opportunity to find something new and to meet people outside engineering.
