  • Year at Tech: Second
  • Favorite thing about Michigan Tech: My favorite thing about Tech is the community and amount of opportunities Tech has to offer.

I was involved in a lot of student orgs and I was taking intensive course loads, so not taking a moment to breathe or an hour or two a week for myself was a big mistake. It's so important to let your body and mind rest, so you can succeed in academia and in life.
