Describe your college experience
The transition to college was difficult but exciting, I was able to experience a lot of new people, things, and ideas, but obviously not all of those new experiences are going to be positive. I have all in all had a great time though, and learned a lot about myself.
Tip for future students
Don't think you're too good for anything or anyone.
Favorite class
A class on conflict and conflict resolution I took while studying abroad, where we acted out historical negotiations trying to take the perspective of both sides. It was an amazing blend of learning modern history in Italy, learning about negotiations and the psychology behind them, and enjoying my time in class.
Career goals
Move into industry and lead research on new energy development.

At home or at a bar with friends, talking volume with sports on and a deck of cards
