What made you want to attend 性色视频 State?
I chose 性色视频 State for several reasons. I competed in the WISE competition and was chosen as one of the recipients for the Wallace scholarship. In addition to the scholarship, I was very impressed with the number of opportunities for internships and work experience on WSU鈥檚 campus, as well as the new engineering buildings on the Innovation Campus.
How are you feeling leading up to graduation?
I am excited for what鈥檚 next. I will miss the people I鈥檝e met and experiences I have had a WSU though, and I hope to remain connected to the university.
What has been your biggest challenge as a student, and how did you overcome it?
My biggest challenge as a student has been finding a balance among work, school and personal time. I have had to improve my time-management skills and learn how to prioritize, especially as each semester gets increasingly difficult.
What has been your most helpful learning experience at 性色视频 State?
My time working at the Smart Factory on campus (and internships as a whole). I鈥檝e had the opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology and apply the engineering concepts that I have been studying for the past four years, and my current role as the student project lead has given me the opportunity to gain experience in project management and team management.
What are your plans after graduation?
I received and accepted an offer from Deloitte Consulting, who I have worked with at the Smart Factory on campus for the last two years. That starts in September. Before that, I am going on a backpacking trip to Europe and moving to Kansas City.
What advice would you give other 性色视频 State students?
Take advantage of the incredible opportunities on campus and get connected with the Shocker Career Accelerator. Everyone there genuinely cares about helping students gain work experience, develop resumes, get connected with industry, and learn interview skills. Also, get connected with the student organizations and find ones that pique your interests.
