Growing up, I was always fascinated with innovation. I still remember how delighted I was to build my own unique Lego creations as child or develop my own video games using Scratch, well before I even knew what engineering was. In high school, I was captivated by Mathematics and Physics, but with no real engineering program offered in my high school, I was unsure of what I wanted to do with my life. Shortly after my first few weeks of attending Upenn, I was sure that I wanted to be an engineer. Having been accepted into the school of arts, I was told repeatedly by advisors to give up on my dream of becoming an engineer, and I had my internal transfer application rejected for 3 consecutive semesters. Unfazed and determined, I continued to take the engineering classes that genuinely interested me, and finally after 2 years of applying I was accepted into the Computer Engineering program, one of the most prestigious and  challenging programs within the school of engineering. Now, I have graduated with a BSE in Computer Engineering and a Minor in Mechanical Engineering, and am equipped with 4+ years of experience programming, designing circuitry, and 3d-modeling.
