Five Questions
What would be your dream job and how did EMS put you closer to this goal?
My dream job is to be a climatologist who can directly help the communities most hurt by the effects of climate change. Because of EMS, I can get a minor in Climatology while receiving a well-rounded education that I know will help me succeed in my future career!
What student organizations and activities are you involved in?
Currently, I am the President of the club Women in the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences, Secretary of the Geography Club, and a member of Minorities in the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences. In the past, I was a Dialogue Facilitator for World in Conversations and during the spring semester, I play clarinet in Campus Band!
What is the best class you’ve taken at Penn State and why?
The best class I’ve taken at Penn State so far would either be my Human Geography Class or Sociology 119- Race, Ethnicity, and Cultures. Both of the teachers I had for these courses were really great, but I loved these classes so much because it challenged my view of the world and took me out of my comfort zone in order to expand my understanding of the world and the people around me!
Why did you decide to attend Penn State?
Penn State is well known for research, climatology, and their strong alumni community so I knew that going here would ensure that I’d receive a great education and a forever family! Plus, I was able to earn a scholarship that helps cover a lot of the cost of school.
What opportunities has Penn State provided for you so far?
Penn State has provided me with a lot of opportunities to involve travel in my education! So far, I have been able to study abroad in Iceland, Austria, Germany, Slovenia, and Czechia. And during the spring of my sophomore year, I flew to Denver, Colorado, for a conference where I presented a poster on food waste at Penn State!
