Class of: 2019
Hometown: Sugar Land, Texas
Why did you choose mechanical
engineering?
There were a number of factors that led to my decision to choose
Mechanical Engineering but the most important was my interest in
automotive engineering. Another major plus of Mechanical
Engineering in my opinion is the versatility a degree in mechanical
engineering offers.
Why did you choose Texas A&M
University?
I chose TAMU over other
universities because it is a great university especially when it
comes to engineering and it has an especially strong mechanical
engineering program. The environment/people at A&M are also one
of a kind which makes students feel at home and the Aggie Network
provides plenty of opportunities.
What was the best part of your experience in the Texas
A&M MEEN department?
The best part of my experience in the MEEN Department has been
getting to know various students, faculty, and staff. As a
first-year student in MEEN, I got to take classes where all the
other students were also in MEEN allowing me to meet new people. On
top of that, working at the advising office has allowed me to get
to know and interact with various faculty and staff members.
Why did you become a MEEN
Ambassador?
I became a MEEN ambassador so that I could meet with and talk to
prospective students about Mechanical Engineering in general and
the program at A&M. I would also love to share my knowledge and
experiences with other students.
What research, work, and/or study abroad experiences
have you had?
I work as a student assistant in the MEEN advising office which
allows me to interact with various students and faculty. Over the
summer, I also interned with GE Aviation as a manufacturing
engineering intern.
If you could give one piece of advice to incoming MEEN
students, what would it be?
My one piece of advice to incoming students would be to take
advantage of the resources provided by the department. This
includes using the labs, study areas, peer tutors, but, most
importantly, professor’s office hours.
What organizations are you a part of or have you
been a part of? Have you or do you currently hold an officer
position?
I am involved
with the Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers (SASE),
Engineering Honors, and the American Society of Mechanical
Engineers. I am an officer for SASE and am a member of the student
executive committee for engineering honors.
Are you a transfer student? Did you
participate in the entry to major
process?
