Describe your college experience

I am having a fantastic college experience centered around my relationships I made through my involvement on the rugby team and by meeting likeminded students in classes. Brown has the high achieving spirit most ivies have but with significantly less competition than a lot of other schools which offers an environment where hard work is collaborative and fun.

Tip for future students

Talk to the faculty as much as possible! Professors are extremely helpful not just for course material but also for career path advice. Even if you don't feel comfortable approaching a professor there are offices on campus dedicated to helping you answer the big questions like "What should I major in?" or "What should I do after I graduate?"

Favorite class

Semiconductor Devices - ENGN 1590 This class was remarkably difficult but I learned more in this class than any other by far. Additionally, the info I gained from this is going to be extremely useful in any career I choose to pursue.

Career goals

I want to go on to get my masters in electrical engineering and hopefully work my way to leading innovative research in sustainable computing, battery technology, or novel​/​improved renewable energy collection devices.

Ideal way to spend a free night

My ideal way to spend a free night is with my teammates. We may be watching a movie, playing poker, or hanging out around a fire it doesn't matter to me I just love spending time all together.
