- Major: Computer Science

- Favorite thing about Michigan Tech: My favorite part about being at Tech is the interaction I get to have with new people in my Organizations, and introducing people to the different things you can do while up in Houghton.
- Why you chose Michigan Tech: I chose Tech because it has an amazing reputation for producing the best students and most hard working students. I also knew they had an amazing AFROTC unit here and I wanted to be a part of it.
- What Does Your Future Hold: The future holds for me is military servers where I will be learning to become an ABM for the military down in Florida after graduation.
- Advice to Transfer Students: Don’t sit back your first year, get out and meet people, join organizations/clubs or just help out throughout campus. By putting yourself out there you will get the opportunity to do so many random and fun things that you normally would not get to experience if you JUST go to school.
