Why did you choose to come to Penn State? The opportunities! Anything I could ever dream of doing is offered at Penn State. With a love of engineering and film, I had to choose a school that offered it all.

What has been your best memory as an engineering student? Being offered an internship. It was exhilarating to know I was wanted by companies, and my hard work is paying off!

What advice would you give a first-year engineer? Do what you love. Become involved in anything you want. There is no cookie cutter engineer. Join clubs that fit your other passions aside from math and engineering.

What do you plan to do after graduation? Make toys and travel! I don't really have a 'plan', but that would be awesome.

What has been your best experience outside of engineering at Penn State? Being in my first show with No Refund Theatre!
