Fun Fact
I play the trumpet. Also, I'm a second degree black belt in Taekwondo, but I've never been in a fight.
Why did you choose UGA?
When choosing colleges, I knew I wanted to stay in the South and UGA stood out the most to me. Two years later, I am incredibly happy with my decision and I am looking forward to the next two years.
Favorite memory as a Bulldog Engineer
My favorite memory as an engineer, so far, was creating a steam engine in the Fab Lab with my group. We made so many mistakes but had a great time doing it. Our final product, named 'Steamy Boy', barely worked, but I was able to make some wonderful friendships.
