Why did you choose Cornell and/or Cornell Engineering?
Cornell has always been familiar to me, as it holds a special significance to many of my Cornellian family members. Having a strong passion for STEM and a sincere interest in hands-on learning, it was only natural that when the time came to make my choice, I knew Cornell Engineering was the perfect fit for me.

What is your favorite thing about Cornell and/or Cornell Engineering?
Experiential learning outside the classroom led me to invaluable connections with students and faculty. The Student Project Teams program, and in particular the Formula SAE Racing Team, has been one of my most favored activities during my time at Cornell. People have asked me why we sink into our teams so deeply. It truly is because the work we do and the skills we learn align so closely with industry demands and it is an extremely rewarding journey to build up a product from scratch!

How did you get involved outside the classroom?
The abundant opportunities to connect with others and learn beyond the classroom have significantly shaped my journey at Cornell Engineering. It is very easy to find a club, team, research lab, or a group of people that you share and interest with and want to make a difference with.
