Hi, I'm Eva, and I'm just getting back from studying abroad in Sydney, Australia! I'm majoring in mechanical engineering with a minor in aerospace engineering. I am a part of Columbia's Alpha Chi Omega sorority as well as engineering clubs. I am also working at Columbia's Fusion Lab on a tritium extraction experiment! In my free time, I enjoy playing volleyball, shopping, traveling, and finding fun places to eat in NYC.

Describe your college experience

My experience so far at Columbia has been great! From exploring NYC, to meeting the sweetest friends, to studying in the gorgeous libraries, I've absolutely loved every moment.

Tip for future students

Having a terrible GPA after freshman fall is NOT the end of the world! It will get so much better when you get adjusted, trust me :)

Favorite class

Physics 1402 with Eric Raymer was the first time physics had ever clicked for me, and I enjoyed learning in that class so much.

Career goals

I hope to become a patent attorney!

Ideal way to spend a free night

Hanging out with friends, doing face masks, and watching a movie!
