About
I am sophomore at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) pursuing a degree in Civil Engineering. I have remained involved on campus and in the community as I am a member the National Honors Society along with my school's Rotary Club, Glee Club, and Pep Band. I will be joining the American Society of Civil Engineers and taking Civil Engineering courses in my upcoming year. I have worked the last three summers at the civil engineering firm Allen and Major Associates assisting land surveyors with plotting points and making measurements on sites, as well as editing AutoCAD files. I am excited to achieve success at WPI and apply my knowledge and skills as a civil engineer in the real world.
