What made you decide to choose your specific major?

I chose Purdue because of the welcoming atmosphere and the opportunities we have here. There are over 1000 student organizations on campus here so if there is something for everyone. For my major specifically I knew for a long time I had wanted to fly but Purdue made me feel the most at home.

What are a couple of your favorite things about your program of study?

Our flight labs and simulator courses, we take real world scenarios in implement it into our training which helps prepare us for going to industry. Additionally of our faculty and Professors are hugely supportive of us and push us to the next level.

What has been on of your favorite class projects?

Creating a investigation board as a creative project we read for a novel in class, to interpret a characters perspective and reveal deeper meaning within the novel.

What other activities are you involved in on campus?

I'm involved in several organizations like Polytechnic Student Council, Ambassadors, Parkour and Calistentics, Women in Aviation, and more.

What do you know about your program of study now that you wish someone had told you when you were choosing a major?

Get to know your professors even if it's just a quick question, they are there as a resource so learn from them and their unique experiences.

What would be one piece of advice for prospective students or new Purdue students?

Be involved on campus, during winter months especially it's easy to stay inside and feel alone. Get out there, join a club and meet people with shared interests, I promise it is worth it.
