I chose to attend UMD due to its close proximity to home and the exciting research opportunities within the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (CHBE) department. Given my intended PhD. track focused on polymeric materials research and academia, I was certain that the CHBE department would provide the best engineering program to support my career aspirations.

 

One of my favorite course experiences would have to be ENES 100: Introduction to Engineering Design. In this class, I was introduced to basic engineering principles and the importance of effective group collaboration. Working with a group of seven other engineering students to design and build an autonomous vehicle with no prior experience in comparison to my group members was truly a learning curve. I was not expecting the great connections that I acquired from this project or the lessons of leadership, teamwork, and engineering ethics learned along the way.

Homecoming is my favorite on-campus event! I love cheering on our team, enjoying the dining hall Homecoming specials, and watching the fireworks from McKeldin Mall with my friends.

Competing in the annual Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (CHBE) Department Showcase is one experience I will never forget. Being able to share my research endeavors with adhesion prevention and spreading awareness about understudied areas of women's health was much more rewarding than the competition itself.
