Why WIT?

I liked the coop program, location, received good scholarships, wanted to continue my sports but not at a super high level, like the major of electromechanical engineering, and I heard a lot of good things about this school

Future Goals?

I want to help people and I want to change the world. I believe I can do that by learning and doing as much as I can when I receive an opportunity. Every point in life you have a chance to learn, grow and make connections which are the three most important things about school for me.

Favorite Food?

Mac and cheese
