What influenced your decision to attend Herff College of Engineering? 
The Herff College of Engineering was the best decision for opportunity and inclusion of everything I was interested in.

The Herff College of Engineering continuously prepares me for my career by giving me networking opportunities and ways for me to improve professionally. 

What skills or knowledge did you learn throughout the program that you found most helpful in your career? 
Skills that I learned throughout the program that were most helpful for my career were the group work involved in engineering projects and how to problem solve as a team. 

Who was your most impactful professor? Why? 
I had many impactful professors, but Dr. Pendley was one of the most interesting in that he challenged us to apply our knowledge of medical physiology in practice.

What advice would you give those considering enrolling in Herff College of Engineering? 
Work hard and enjoy your time here because it only happens once. 

What do you know now that you wish you had known during your time at Herff? 
How fast time flies. I should have savored the moment more rather than wanting it to be done. I miss those times a lot. 

Was your Herff experience worth the price? If you could do it over again, what would you do differently? 
There was no price. I was on a scholarship. If I could do it over again, I would have been more decisive and less undecided about what I wanted to do with my career.
