Why you choose Cornell Engineering?
I chose Cornell Engineering because I wanted to surround myself with faculty and students who are leaders in their fields. The professors I work with inspire me as a student as well as push me to be a successful engineer every day.

What is your favorite thing about Cornell Engineering?
My favorite thing about Cornell Engineering is the cooperative environment mixed with the academic rigor, for only through a combination of these two can innovative, creative solutions be achieved.

What do you do outside of the classroom?
I am a part of AguaClara, a student-based engineering project team with worldwide impacts in providing safe, clean, drinking water. Additionally, I really enjoy taking full advantage of Ithaca’s beautiful scenery by hiking, snowboarding, and mountain biking.
