Major: Mechanical Engineering
Year: Junior
Graduated from: Olympic Heights Community High School

One of my favorite courses at UCF has been Differential Equations because having an
incredible professor who turned complex concepts into rewarding puzzles and made
problem-solving genuinely exciting. My decision to become a STEM Ambassador stems from
my high school days in FRC robotics, where older mentors made a lasting impact on me by
creating a welcoming space where everyone felt comfortable learning. I want to pay that forward
and build an approachable, encouraging environment for the next generation of students. To
future STEM students, remember that when coursework gets tough, it does not mean you do
not belong. Struggling is just part of the experience, and you are more than smart enough to
figure it out with a little extra effort. Outside of my classes, I love listening to music, building
LEGO sets, and staying active, basically anything that lets me unwind, socialize, and hang out
with friends.
