I've had several seminars and professional development talks with previous Purdue Alumni and I remember them saying that my master's program is tailored to my needs and I can always speak up and take the classes I'm interested in or participate in organizations I want to be a part of and I believe that gave me a lot of encouragement to make my Purdue experience very personalized. I've gotten so much knowledge while picking classes I want tolerant from, attended to multiple conferences and met new people which are now my friends throughout the experiences so I'm super thankful for the advice I've gotten during my program

I chose Purdue Engineering because of the program structure. I already knew Purdue was heavily involved with the Pharma industry, so that was a main priority. The program I chose fit my needs: deepen my academic knowledge in pharmaceutical engineering, understand management courses to develop my organizational and managerial skills, and perform a research capstone project in the area I'm the most passionate about (Pharma). Coming with work experience and having met Purdue Alumni, I was very interested to experience the education Purdue offers and understand why so many Boilermakers are so proud of their alma matter. I can say with pride I understand it now! I'm a proud Boilermaker super thankful for all the challenges, growth, support, level of education and opportunities I've found thanks to my networking skills, faculty and community.

The amount of science-based seminars/talks of incredible top-notch professionals in industry coming to Purdue and the access to talk to them 1:1. I would never think I would see those people in real life

Due to my program being so rigorous I don't do a lot of fun activities but I do go out with my friends to eat or have a couple of drinks in Lafayette or West Lafayette. I also go to the fitness classes, they're amazing and have a lot of fun with it.

"You're doing the best you can, and that's the best thing anyone can do" Pinocchio I love this quote because it shows that If I give my all in a project, friendship, work and have the best intentions I can be at peace with myself knowing that's the best I can do and it's enough. It adds that vulnerability is also part of being yourself and doing the best you can be.

I love any place with mountains! I'm from Quito Ecuador and I was surrounded with mountains while growing up so they remind me of home and they're just majestic overall , I love them.
