During my first few years at Michigan Tech, I’ve been able to take advantage of some of the many opportunities for growth on campus. I work as an RA in the dorms, have gone on an eight month co-op with Billerud paper, and am involved in a ton of student orgs. I’m super excited to meet new students and work as a peer mentor to share resources and experiences to support them through their time at Tech!

(RA)
Michigan Tech offers its students many different opportunities to grow and make the most of their college experience. I have completed an eight month co-op with Amcor and have been involved and participated in different organizations and events across campus. I was also an RA for three semesters in Wadsworth Hall. I am very excited to meet the incoming students this year, and share my experience. As a peer mentor, I am looking forward to helping students succeed in their time at Michigan Tech and encourage them to take advantage of the many opportunities on campus.

College is an excellent time to participate in on-campus activities and explore the wonderful environment off-campus. As a Peer Mentor, I aim to share my perspective of college life with fellow students to further enrich their experience at Tech. Additionally, I want to help my fellow chemical engineers make educated decisions by sharing my experiences.
