What made you decide to attend UTSA?
I decided to attend UTSA because I didn't want to travel for school and San Antonio has always been my home.
When did you figure out what you wanted to study in college?
I discovered I wanted to study chemical engineering when I learned that UTSA had a CME program. I knew I always enjoyed chemistry, but I didn't want to give up learning upper-level physics and math.
What did you enjoy most about your experience at UTSA?
The friends I made through my journey at UTSA.
What have you learned, in your time at UTSA, that surprised you the most?
The most surprising thing I learned was how every concept I learned along the way would compound together into my senior design course. It made it fun to pull knowledge from my prior classes into one final course.
Do you have any goals or plans after graduation?
I'd like to take my Fundamentals of Engineering Exam and eventually get my Professional Engineer License.
What advice do you have for people considering the programs at UTSA?
Study hard and work with your classmates. The time and effort you put in reflects your success in the programs.
