Something Cool/Unique About Me

This summer, I spent my time on a construction site focusing on geostructural safety at the Federal Reserve! Also, my favorite animals are geese and I love to hammock and longboard.

Advice For Students

Get involved and talk to your professors! Getting involved in college is the best way to meet more people and friends with similar interests. My favorite way to tackle clubs is choosing a club for your major, one for fun, and one that will help you build professional skills, such as networking. Along with that, talking to your professors is not only a great way to build a connection and learn more about your field. It can help you later on with recommendations and networking when looking for jobs. Professors at Purdue are great resources!
