Head always stuck in a book or playing with a Barbie
Was in a movie at age 4 and dreamt of being an actor when I grew up

3. High school Did theatre for 3 years and show choir for 2 years.
My junior year I took my first programming class and fell in love
My senior year I took my first engineering class thanks to my dad
Decided at the end of that class I wanted to become an Engineer
I had a 100% acceptance rate from the colleges I applied to

4. Hobbies When I was younger, books and Barbies
As an adult, my tastes have vastly grown. I now enjoy books, any type of game, baking/cooking, and dogs
During high school I dog sat for friends and neighbors
My biggest dream in life is to own multiple dogs, but as of recently I tragically have found out I’m allergic to dogs.

5. College
Missouri S&T made the most sense to me since I’m from Missouri and majoring in Engineering
Majoring in Computer and Electrical Engineering
Planning on also minoring in Math and Computer Science
Currently working multiple jobs
Awarded multiple scholarships/grants including one from the lovely people in the Academy of ECE

6. My Future
Interning at Electric Power Systems this summer and looking forward to it
I don’t have a declared emphasis yet, but I have 6 semesters till I graduate
After graduation I’d love to travel the world
Once I’ve settled down somewhere, I’ll adopt my first dog.
