What clubs/activities are you involved with on campus?

I am part of Society of Women Engineers (SWE), Cornell Webdev, and on the Toiletree team, which creates a website that rates and locates all of the bathrooms around Cornell's campus. I am also part of the mechanical subteam for the Nexus project team. The goal of our project team is to make an autonomous robot that cleans up microplastics on beaches. 

What is your favorite thing about Cornell?

Cornell has the perfect environment for studying. Resources are provided so that students can focus and excel in their academics while experiencing life as a college student.

How did you find your friends and community at Cornell?

I met most of my best friends during orientation week. We were all in the same orientation group and quickly became friends. I met a lot of my other friends in classes and also befriended friendly people who lived in my residence hall.

When you were applying, why did you choose Cornell?

Cornell has one of the best engineering programs, and I knew I wanted to pursue engineering. The College of Engineering has a lot of structure and helps students explore their academic passion while providing the framework of necessary subjects as well.
