Major and Class Year: Mechanical Engineering, 2027

What drew you to attend Cornell for your university experience?
When I visited Cornell it was such a beautiful campus full of hardworking and friendly people (and an amazing engineering program), which I'm happy to say I still get to experience everyday at school. It was also incredibly cold, but it has actually been very fun to experience real seasons having come from California.

What is your favorite spot on Campus (or Ithaca more broadly), and why?
My favorite spot in Ithaca is Sunset Park. It's this small crescent shaped park to the north of campus with a beautiful view overlooking the lake. It's typically pretty quiet and per the name is a beautiful place to view the sunset. A great place for a book or listening to music.

What are your aspirations professionally (or personally) once you leave Cornell?
I want to get my Masters in engineering, which might actually keep me at Cornell for an extra year if that is the path I follow. I don't know exactly the work I want to do out of college (I suppose that is part of what the rest of college is for), but I am interested in machining and aerospace.
