Why are you a Dean’s Student Leader?
I am a Dean’s Student Leader because I want to help spread the word about the Polytechnic Institute to current and potential Purdue University students and show them that the Polytechnic Institute is where the students will enjoy being part of the college while attaining lifelong skills.
 

What other activities are you involved in on or off campus?
I am currently the vice president of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars. On top of this, I am a part of the Purdue University Honors College, the Alpha Lambda Delta Phi Eta Sigma National Honor Society, and Association of Information Technology Professionals.

Where do you want to be/ what do you want to be doing in 10 years?
In 10 years, I hope to be working in a company doing something database-related to improve people’s lives. With this company, I want to feel like I am valuable and helping make the world a better place.

Why did you choose the Polytechnic Institute?
I chose the Polytechnic Institute because I want to be able to have a hands-on experience. With the Polytechnic Institute being smaller than other colleges on campus, I know that I will be able to gain a much better relationship with my classmates and professors.
