Why did you choose to come to Penn State? I chose Penn State because I felt welcome as soon as I stepped on campus for the first time. Now I feel like I belong to one of the biggest families in the world and I love it!

What has been your best memory as an engineering student? My best memory as an engineering student has definitely been the random study sessions I've had with my friends. I just remember laughing so much that it didn't even feel like I was studying.

What advice would you give a first-year engineer? Go outside your comfort zone, because that's where you will make the best memories!

What do you plan to do after graduation? I would like to either go into industry or go into graduate school

What has been your best experience outside of engineering at Penn State? Cheering on the football team!
