Degree: Bachelor of Science, mechanical engineering

What's next: I will join the Aerospace Corporation (in El Segundo, CA) as a Space Vehicle Concept Design Engineer while pursuing my master's in mechanical engineering tandem.

"The Women in Engineering Program enabled me to 'find my voice' at Purdue! Becoming an LT and working alongside an unparalleled group of talented individuals engrained confidence in my ability to convey ideas and lead a team successfully. Additionally, working with children on the Outreach Team allowed me to be revitalized with the knowledge that I helped inspire the next generation of engineers. It is often easy to lose sight of what a privilege it is to be an engineer, but bearing witness to children's passion is truly the most gratifying experience. I cannot stress enough how pivotal WiE has been in my personal and professional development, and it is undoubtedly an experience I will carry with me for life!"
