What got you interested in engineering?

I always liked learning about how the world works around me with physical things that we build to function with a purpose.

What impact do you hope to have through your engineering career?

Through my career, I hope to benefit the health of all humans through proper treatment of the human body, whether it be pharmaceutic or lifestyle.

What does the CREATE program mean to you?

The CREATE program is a huge support to my professional progress, which is then able to carry over to the other aspects of my life.

In what ways has your peer mentor helped you?

My peer mentor has always been able to provide me with insight on classes they have previously taken, and my mentor is able to assist me with time management between school and other extracurriculars.

What advice would you give someone looking to follow in your footsteps?

To find the best success in college, learn to manage your time properly and be sure to find a hobby or activity you can do outside of school that healthily gives you a break from school.
