Why Engineering: I wanted to solve complex problems that impact a large number of people, and I love to tell people what to do.
Favorite ISU Memory: Walking to the last in-person exam before quarantine with all of my study friends, knowing we were going to ACE the exam!
Something Unique about me: Whenever I am very stressed out, I like to talk/sing to myself until I start laughing.
Words of Wisdom: Learn to love the classes and content you hate. The more understanding you gain, the more you begin to love the subject. There is a unique satisfaction of knowing all about something that used to intimidate you. Keep going no matter what!
