Fun Fact: I studied abroad in Munich, Germany, through the College of Engineering!

Why did you choose UGA? I chose UGA because of the supportive atmosphere. I wanted to attend a school where students encourage each other’s success rather than compete against one another. After touring UGA and the College of Engineering, I realized how collaborative and supportive the environment was, and I knew I had to go here.

Favorite Memory as a Bulldog Engineer? My favorite memory as a Bulldog Engineer is meeting new students in the College of Engineering. Whether it is getting advice from an older student or getting to know peers in my classes. These moments emphasize the friendly, uplifting environment at UGA and constantly remind me of why I chose to come here in the first place.
