Why I chose my major
I chose my major because of my interest in both the engineering and medical fields.
I initially came to WSU with an interest in prosthetics, but I have since found a
passion for genetic engineering and research. I am currently in the Honors College,
and I have minors in Mathematics, Chemistry, and University Honors. I have certificates
in Biomaterials Engineering and Assistive Technology and Accessible Design. I am also
doing an Accelerated Bachelor鈥檚 to Master鈥檚 program in Biomedical Engineering.
Involvement
I am currently the Vice President of oSTEM (Out in Science, Technology, Engineering,
and Mathematics), and I am an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant
Why I chose Wichita State
I chose Wichita State because it was the best option for my major that wasn鈥檛 too
close to home where I wouldn鈥檛 be able to be independent, but also wasn鈥檛 too far
away that I couldn鈥檛 visit family. When I visited, I truly felt that I was at home,
and I felt an excitement about coming to Wichita State that I personally didn鈥檛 experience
anywhere else. I鈥檝e loved getting to know new people, being able to grow as an individual,
and developing my knowledge in my field while discovering what I love about it.
Favorite thing about WSU
My favorite thing about WSU is the opportunities it provides all of its students.
I have seen peers in numerous different majors who have had incredible experiences
that have enriched their college journey. I personally have been able to attend conferences,
participate in research, and step into leadership roles, which have all helped me
grow significantly. My professors are genuinely invested in helping me succeed, and
I feel like I have a solid support system that has helped me throughout my years as
an undergraduate student.
