Why Illinois?

I chose to attend UIUC for the aerospace engineering program as it’s one of the best in the world. I really wanted to get a hands on experience with the concepts that I learn.

What has been your best experience at Illinois?

One of my favorite experiences was taking my first CAD class. It taught me to visualize everything around you and be meticulous.

Favorite part about being an engineering student?

My favorite part of being an engineering student would be working on projects for certain classes and applying my knowledge that I’ve learned to those projects.

Why did you join EA?

I joined EA so that I could help to spread some of the knowledge that I have learned over the years. In my opinion, knowledge is useless unless we share it with others.

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

My advice would be to work hard, be passionate, and never give up in the face of setbacks. Believe in yourself and be optimistic. Don’t take shortcuts.

What do you plan on doing post-graduation?

I would love to work for a company that specializes in aerospace or oceanic sciences.
