Why did you choose the U of A?

The U of A was close to home, had a good engineering program, and offered attractive financial aid.

Why did you choose your major/focus?

I was interested in working with large systems and in outdoor environments. I also had a strong interest in biology and applied math.

What are your future plans and how did your college experience shape them?

I intend to go to graduate school at the U of A in 2016. My research experience with my advisor convinced me to go to grad school.

Do you have any words of wisdom for your fellow students?

Make school your #1 priority. Treat it like a job.
