WPI allows any student to be their best selves no matter the situation. Constantly being led towards challenges more extraordinary than the last makes anyone become a better person. Before I arrived at WPI, I was rather shy, but now I can strive in any environment I choose to be in. Unfortunately, failure is inevitable, but you never fail if you don't give up. WPI has taught me to take the negatives in my life and craft them into positives. This new outlook on life has allowed me to see hardships as grace and evolve into a better person daily. Please feel free to contact me anytime because I would love to help in any way I can. 

Pre-Dental / Dental Assistant

This summer I have became a certified Dental assistant working in general dentistry and orthodontics. The satisfaction I receive being able to help patients with their dental problems is extraordinary. Every operation gives me more clinical experience to be a great orthodontist one day.


Ski and Snowboard Club

Skiing has always been my favorite way to get outside. I've been skiing for about 8 years now and it's been such a positive experience in my life. The club at WPI has helped me find more friends with the same interests as me and has allowed me to ski in bigger groups. 

Greek Life

Greek life has connected me with a lot of different people and has made excellent connections for myself. This is the first year I'm apart of greek life and I'm excited to be apart of it.


Men's Rowing

This year is my first year joining the rowing team and its only benefited me mentally and physically. Juggling my academics and a sport has allowed me to be better at time management and make great connections along the way. Staying physically active is very important to me and it makes it a lot easier doing it with a great group of people. 

Badminton Club 

Badminton club has helped me meet some of my close friends that I have today. It's also been a great way to exercise with friends and have a competitive side. 

S.A.S.

I've been apart of the student alumni society since freshman year and I couldn't recommend it enough. I've learned so much about WPI and its history during my time and I cant wait to experience another year.
