Bio

Why did you choose Purdue?

I chose Purdue because I knew Purdue was a great engineering school and I wanted to experience a new place with other students who were also academically driven. Purdue also has an amazing school spirit culture to go along with the great academics and I love getting involved in and around campus.

Why did you choose engineering as a major?

I always gravitated towards math and science in middle and high school, so engineering was a natural progression of what I enjoyed doing. I like that engineering challenges you to problem solve and think critically as the work you are doing as things you are learning will have a real-world impact.

What is your favorite thing about being a Purdue Engineer?

I loved the collaborative and uplifting culture here at Purdue. Even though engineering is hard, students are passionate about what they are working on and always willing to lend a helping hand to support their peers.

What is your secret to success in the College of Engineering?

I think the "secret to success" is a little different for every student, but for me, it is staying organized with my assignments and calendar. Staying on top of my assignments and schedule has helped me stay involved and manage academics, work, and student organizations.

What is your favorite Purdue memory?

One of my favorite Purdue memories was having a snowball fight behind my dorm freshman year after a huge snowstorm!
