Pronouns: She/her/hers/herself

Major: BS Software Engineering

Year: Senior

Hometown: Clayton, New Jersey

I chose this major because... I am super-interested in creating things, and building software is one way to build something tangible!

Favorite Course: INFO 310: Human-Centered Design Process & Methods with Dr. Tim Gorichanaz, PHIL 105: Critical Reasoning

Clubs/Extracurricular Activities: Women in Computing Society (WiCS), Drexel Coffee Club (DUCC), Drexel Womens Club Soccer

Co-ops I've done: SAP America

Favorite thing/place at Drexel: My new favorite spot at Drexel is the Summer Winter Community Garden. It's really part of the community and if you are an avid gardener or want to learn this is the place to do it! There's even a course that allows you to take part.

When I'm not at Drexel, I'm... Wandering around Philly, getting lots of coffee and getting active!

When you are in Philadelphia, I think you should... Explore! Go everywhere and eat everything. Philly is an incredible city. All of my best memories are my adventures around Philadelphia, whether it be with my friends or a solo trip. There are so many little spots and hidden areas and amazing food. Just get out there and adventure!

Advice to new/incoming CCI students: It's so important to focus on your studies, but don't get stuck in your dorm room. Study outside, in the library, and remember to take breaks and enjoy being in this incredible city!

What is your dream job? My dream is to own my own company or work my way up in a corporation. I want to lead people to create exciting technologies that change the way we live and work.

Favorite Animated Character: Clancy from Midnight Gospel
