Describe your college experience
I have been through many ups and downs; college is definitely a rollercoaster! I have made lots of friends and experienced so many different things. I have figured out what kind of person I am and what my limits are as well as when I need to push myself.
Tip for future students
It's ok to feel like you don't know anything, everyone else is in the same boat.
Favorite class
EAPS 106! I loved watching the movies and then hearing Prof. Freed talk about all the insights he has into the natural disasters.
Career goals
I want to either go into the aerospace or defense industry in the design space.
Ideal way to spend a free night
I love a chill night with my friends where we have some things that we want to do but also have time to be spontaneous!
