Geneva - Tufts Mechanical Engineer
Hi! My name is Geneva, I'm a sophomore at Tufts, studying Mechanical Engineering with a Minor in Mathematics. I work two jobs at Tufts, I'm part of Tufts Admissions Tour Guides and I work for the Center for STEM Diversity. Outside of work, I'm involved in a few clubs, Engineers Without Borders, Pole Dancing Collective, Association of Mixed People at Tufts, Mechanical Engineering/ Human Factors Engineering Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice Board. In my free time, I read and crochet.

Describe your college experience
I came to Boston from Phoenix, and initially I was very homesick. I did a prematriculation program though, and very quickly found a really great group of friends who made me feel right at home.
Tip for future students
First, spend time with your friends before you head off to college. Second, if you're confused, always just ask.
Favorite class
EN1 - Simple Robotics! It's one of the intro engineering classes and it was so fun! We got a box of Lego Technics at the beginning of the semester and we made robots the rest of the semester with those Legos and it was really fun and we made a bunch of really cool things.
Career goals
I want to work in prosthetics and orthotics after college.
Ideal way to spend a free night
If I have a free night, I either tuck in with a good book and a cozy mug of tea, or sit down with a game (right now, I'm playing my way through Witcher 3).
