What is the best project you’ve ever worked on or really admire in STEM? The NASA fellowship I got through WNCC where I got to work with GoPiGo robots! My Intro to Robotics class where we worked with the MBot robots was really fun as well.

Who is someone (teacher, mentor, role model) in STEM you look up to and why? I admire every woman in STEM ever who came before me and paved the way for me to have an experience with the most potential for maximum learning, and I admire Bill Loring, my advisor and teacher, for his willingness to teach and give students the understanding needed to succeed.

What is one piece of advice you would give to someone considering a STEM major? Stick with it! Going to school is hard, STEM fields are hard, staying motivated is hard... However, getting far enough in your field of study to where you start to have your lightbulb moment and understand how it all works is so worth it!
