Bio

My goals for the immediate future are to pursue a bachelor’s degree in the field of engineering, followed by a master’s degree. I plan to explore both chemical engineering and environmental engineering. I look forward to learning from talented professors through challenging coursework and immersing myself in hands-on learning and research opportunities. I am eager to participate in engineering clubs and collaborate with peers who have a similar passion for innovation. These opportunities will allow me to work on various projects, gain more understanding in engineering, and grow in my confidence needed to prepare me for my future career. I am committed to putting in my best effort and striving for excellence in my education, so that I have a strong foundation to start my career. My long-term goals are to pursue a career in the environmental preservation and protection field or the renewable energy field, as these are both fields that I am very passionate about and want to contribute to. With that career, I will strive to make a positive impact in the world, whether large or small. I want to make a positive difference in the world and leave it better than it was before.
