Renewable energy, Aerospace, Robotics, and Design systems.

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

One piece of advice I have is to take advantage of every opportunity that is in front of you; if you wonder about anything, ask!

What has been your favorite engineering course and why? 

My favorite engineering course so far has been linear algebra. I don’t consider myself a big math person, but I really love the way matrices work, and the professor that taught the class was amazing.

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

I am the president of the KSU chapter of NSBE, and I am a member of Colorstack and AIAA. I also participate in activities with the Alpha Pi Mu chapter which is the honor society for ISYE, and this semester I have been considering joining the archery club.

I am looking forward to gaining better public speaking skills helping everyone pass the FE exam.
