Hey! I am a transfer student at UCF (spent my freshman year at Tulane University), and I am double majoring in Mechanical Engineering and Finance. I hope to one day go to law school and am involved with a lab on campus doing research, mock trial, moot court, and Theta Tau.

Describe your college experience

After spending my freshman year at Tulane and then transferring to UCF, my college experience has had a lot of ups and downs and plenty of learning moments. Between balancing a double major with making sure I am doing enough to apply to law school as well as finding internships, college has taught me vital soft skills I will use for the rest of my life.

Tip for future students

Be ready to learn when you are not in the classroom. I think some of my greatest moments of growth while at college have been outside of the classroom, but rather when I have had to figure things out on my own. Also use your resources, it might be the first time you are going to be independent, but colleges provide plenty of help with the transition.

Favorite class

My favorite class has been my applied math class due to the professor being so involved with her students and caring about our success.

Career goals

I hope to become an engineer for 3-5 years and then go to law school to become an intellectual property attorney.

Ideal way to spend a free night

Go out with friends and just see where the night takes you.

High school or secondary school

Favorite spot on campus

Has to be Einstein Bros. Bagels next to the Engineering building. You cannot beat a good bagel while studying.
