What has surprised you most about yourself since starting at UTD? I didn’t expect myself to get so involved with Dallas/Richardson and attend so many events in the area.
One thing you HAD to bring with you to college: My Lord of the Rings books.
Why did you become a Student Ambassador? I want to give back to the university and find a group of other passionate individuals!
Plans after graduation: Work at NASA hopefully! Potentially grad school studying robotics.
