Why Illinois?

It has a great engineering program and I liked all the students I met and I felt comfortable on campus. It also isn’t too close to home but I can visit them when I want.

Friendsgiving where we all watched Disney movies and ate noodles.

Favorite part about being an engineering student?

All the cool people I get to meet and the resources available.

Why did you join EA?

I want to encourage more people to enter the STEM fields because they are important for the environment and are really interesting when you look into it.

What advice would you give to someone interested in pursuing a STEM degree?

Work hard but also find a balance that allows you to enjoy your studies.

What do you plan on doing post-graduation?

I either want to go to law school or work for the government doing disease research.
