Connor Mann

My career goal is to become an engineer, using my strengths in mathematics, science, and creative problem-solving to develop innovative solutions that improve people's lives. I plan to pursue an engineering degree at the University of Arkansas while continuing to develop my interests in music, leadership, and service. Ultimately, I hope to build a career that challenges me intellectually, allows me to make a meaningful impact, and reflects my values of integrity, hard work, and faith.

I am interested in pursuing graduate studies in engineering to further develop my technical knowledge, research abilities, and problem-solving skills. While I have not yet selected a specific engineering discipline, I am open to pursuing a master’s degree or potentially a doctorate as my academic interests and career goals develop. My ultimate goal is to use advanced education to contribute to innovation, technological advancement, and meaningful solutions to real-world challenges.

Outside the classroom, I enjoy pursuing my passion for music, serving my community, and developing my leadership skills. I am an All-State Choir member, a three-time Arkansas NATS vocal competition champion, and a guitarist in my church's worship band. Music provides me with a creative outlet and an opportunity to connect with others while using my talents to serve God. I have also participated in the North Little Rock Youth Leadership Program, completed an engineering job-shadowing experience with Garver, and gained valuable professional experience through an internship with Action Claim Service. These activities have helped me develop discipline, teamwork, leadership, and a strong appreciation for serving others. I strive to maintain a balance between academic achievement, personal growth, faith, and meaningful relationships.
