Major: Chemical Engineering

Minor: Business Management
What made you choose this area of study?
I always loved chemistry and math before coming to college, and I have always had a passion for finding out how things work and creating. Additionally, I really care about the environment, and I believe that in order to have more sustainable industry/manufacturing we need people with this mindset in those spaces.
What is your favorite thing about engineering?
I love how it takes hard sciences and turns them into feasible rules/laws which we can use to create!
Why did you choose ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½?
I chose ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ because of the great engineering programs, the urban campus, and the opportunity to compete as a student athlete on the varsity swim team while completing my degree.
Were you involved in activities outside of class? If so, what were they and why did you get involved?
I was a student athlete and competed on the varsity women's swim and dive team for the entirety of my time at ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½. I also joined Alpha Gamma Delta sorority my first year and made great friends through that. This year I am a peer advisor for the school of engineering! I was involved in several smaller social justice organizations which allowed me to have an impact on campus. I also did a study abroad last summer in Athens, Greece which was an amazing experience!
What's your favorite thing about ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ or your favorite memory?
I'd love to share my two favorite memories at ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½. My first would be the several times that the women's swim team beat our long-standing rivals, those were such amazing moments I got to share with the team. Second, I have to recognize just how amazing of an experience seeing the solar eclipse on April 8th was, once in a lifetime.
As a graduating student, what's a piece of advice/encouragement you'd like to share with current students?
Don't take your time here for granted, living within walking distance of all your friends, spending time and co-existing with people you care about the way that you do in college, it's very special.
What are your post graduation plans?
I accepted a job in Cleveland as a process engineer with The Lubrizol Corporation, the company that I co-oped with while here at ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½!
