Why did you choose to come to Penn State? I choose Penn State because of the reputation of the college of engineering. I also chose Penn State because I wanted to be a part of something bigger and Penn State provided me with a way to make real differences in the world, while becoming a member of the Penn State family.

What has been your best memory as an engineering student? My best memory of being an engineer here is when I made my first op-amp circuit and seeing the lights flash on the circuit board and knowing that I made this happen.

What advice would you give a first-year engineer? My advice would get involved!!! There are so many opportunities to to not only change your life but the life of others by joining different clubs and groups such as THON.

What do you plan to do after graduation? My main plan after I graduate is to get a job. As of now I am looking at many companies, but I have not made a decision yet.

What has been your best experience outside of engineering at Penn State? My experience outside of engineering has been been amazing. I have participated in the both the men's varsity and club volleyball programs. I went to many football games, and even got painted for a couple. I have been on the dance floor for THON, which is one of the best experiences I will never forget. Overall I have made so many great memories that I know that I could of never have done without going to Penn State.
