I've always been a math and science person. During my senior year of high school, I really enjoyed taking physics and chemistry. After attending a materials science and engineering (MSE) career day event, I decided MSE was a good blend of my interests.
One personal goal is to make a positive difference in the world – whether through solving a major issue by designing new materials or leading materials innovation. Overall, I want to use my MSE degree to help others in some way.
I've enjoyed the chance to meet many incredible new people. I’ve enjoyed attending a school with great people who share similar interests.
I love to swim, and having an Olympic-sized pool on campus is such a cool experience. Although I haven't had much time lately, I always used to joke that the water was my second home — I like to spend as much time swimming as possible.
