What are your career goals?

My goal is to build a career in chemical engineering focused on energy, process systems, and leading high-impact technical projects.

Do you have any research areas of interest specific to your discipline?

I am especially interested in multiphase flow, transport phenomena, process optimization, and energy systems.

What is one piece of advice you have for fellow engineering students?

Do not wait until you feel fully qualified, raise your hand, ask the question, and grow into the opportunity.

What has been your favorite engineering course and why? 

Heat Transfer has been my favorite engineering course because it showed me how fundamental principles translate directly into the design and operation of real industrial systems.

Which clubs, campus organizations, and activities do you participate in?

I am involved in SASA, University Ambassadors, Student Investment Fund, chemical engineering research.

What are you most looking forward to gaining from being an FE ambassador? 

I am most excited to help make the FE and professional licensure feel more tangible, relevant, and approachable to other engineering students.
