Describe your college experience

I have loved my time here at Virginia Tech. I have made lots of life long friends and memories. VT has also given me so many opportunities to succeed in my personal and professional growth.

Tip for future students

Get to know your professors well, they will be the ones who give you great opportunities for research, job or anything really!

Favorite class

My Materials Lab 2 class has definitely been my favorite. We spend our time melting metals and glass and creating super unique samples all on our own. We then get to test these samples using the provided lab equipment.

Career goals

I hope to go to grad school after college!

Ideal way to spend a free night

My friends and I have been doing weekly potlucks, which is a great way to spend a free night.
