Why I chose my major
I chose my major because from a young age I have been fascinated with all things space and genuinely enjoyed math and other STEM classes. I also feel like I can use my degree to make a difference, whether it be through designing a satellite that discovers the next big thing or working on a team to improve current aircraft’s making them safer for human travel.

Why I chose Wichita State
I chose Wichita State because the moment I stepped on campus I felt like I had found my home. The people I interacted with were so kind, genuine and had a passion for their major and future plans. The engineering program was impressive and being in the air capital was great for my major. Additionally it is very affordable, especially as an out of state student.

I’ve only been on campus for a short time but my favorite part so far is all the events on campus. There is always something to do and I truly believe there is something for everyone.

Favorite hobby to do in my free time
I love watching movies, traveling with my family, getting coffee or going shopping.

Advice I'd give to an incoming student
Trust the process, coming into college can be a very stressful time with lots of uncertainties but everything will work itself out and you will find your place.
