Why Engineering: I chose engineering because I wanted to work on technology that will help further humanity and help us understand the universe around us better. I hope to one day be able to work on rockets that explore our solar system and beyond.

Favorite ISU Memory: My favorite memories at Iowa State have been making friends both in the classroom and the dorms and watching us all grow throughout college. I have loved the memories made in the classroom, dorms, intramural sports, and other places around campus.

Something Unique About Me: My mother and Aunt went to Iowa State and next year myself and my two sisters will both be attending Iowa State at the same time just as they did!

Words of Wisdom: Focus on yourself. There will always be people around you that seem smarter, better put together, or more successful than you. Once you focus on yourself and your own betterment the imposter syndrome that we are all so familiar with will begin to fade.
