What was your favorite class?
I really enjoyed the telecommunications class. It was interesting to learn about the networks that connect MSOE and then actually go and see them.

What have you liked most about your MSOE experience?
MSOE was a place where many opportunities were made available to me due to the small size of the school. I was able to experience and try many new things that larger institutions would not be able to provide.

Beyond academics, what have you learned at MSOE?
MSOE taught me about leadership. Through various clubs, organizations, and classes I was able to practice my leadership skills and become a more effective leader.

What were you involved in outside of school? How do you spend your free time?
Outside of school I was the president of the Student Union Board and worked as the senior resident assistant. Both of these positions took a lot of my free time. I enjoy photography and when I have a spare moment I like to walk around Milwaukee and take pictures of the city.

Do you have advice for students considering MSOE?
MSOE is a school that will challenge you academically. Be prepared to work hard, but remember to have fun and enjoy your time at college.

How (why) did you choose MSOE? Are you happy with your decision?
I choose MSOE because of its small class size and location in the city. I have been very pleased with my decision and wouldn’t go back and change it.

What are your plans for after graduation?
I will be working as a business systems analyst for Rockwell Automation. I met representatives from Rockwell at MSOE's Career Fair and then interiviewed with them later on campus.
