WPI has influenced my life...
Joining a sports team for the fall of my freshman year helped get me acclimated to campus. On the first day of classes I already knew 20 familiar faces and had a strong support system. WPI's career development center has boosted my career, helping me to find amazing internships. This summer I'll be in Wisconsin at General Electric's Healthcare Information Management Leadership Program.
I am most proud of...
My ability to work with other students of different academic backgrounds by optimizing our individual skill sets.
Teamwork is...
A synergistic effect that appears when two or more people work together to obtain a goal.
Sports and recreation are important because...
Working so hard on my academics, I need some sort of outlet. Soccer is something I'm passionate about and it's very important to be well-rounded.
My favorite WPI moment...
Are basketball games because the whole school comes together to support the team and we always get a really good crowd. The band gets super into it and the students usually sit together on one side.
