Post-graduation Plans: I will be working as an Analytical Solutions Engineer Intern at Facebook this summer remotely. I will also continue pursuing an M.S.E. in Robotics at the University of Pennsylvania as part of 4+1 Engineering program this Fall. 

Words of wisdom for the Class of 2024: 

Don't be afraid to explore other fields and opportunities while at Bryn Mawr that can lead you to a totally unexpected but very surprisingly pleasant space. When applying to Bryn Mawr, I confidently chose International Studies as my intended major. Never have I imagined to major in Mathematics and Computer Science, never have I imagined to pursue a master in Engineering at Penn, and never have I imagined to make best friends in Owl Investment Group. Embrace all the ups and downs and anticipate where those challenges can take you. Even if you feel a need to take a break, don't be afraid - and take as much time you need to get back on track. I was able to meet best mentors I could ever ask for when I took a year off from school.

Also take as much as resources that Bryn Mawr provides you. Thanks to Bryn Mawr, I was able to have one of the best summers exploring China and experiencing startup cultures; thanks to Bryn Mawr, I was able to observe a beautiful moment when a Bryn Mawr alum pronounced her retirement to her team at work, and her family and herself getting ready for her next journey. 

I wish you all the best, and most importantly enjoy your next few years in such a beautiful place like Bryn Mawr!
