At the root of engineering is people: Hearing their concerns and working to develop solutions to the problems that plague them. What do cars, computers, medicine, and elevators have in common? They are all engineered solutions designed with the same core purpose- to provide value for those who utilize them. Growing up, I always dreamed of a career centered around helping people, but when I entered college as an engineering major, I feared my desire to make the world a better place and my occupation would be mutually exclusive. I can now say with confidence how wrong I was. Through my engineering education and career, I am actively building (sometimes literally) a better world for the people around me. As an incoming 3rd year Chemical Engineering Student within The College of Engineering and Computing at Miami University, I have endless opportunities to turn my passion into action. I am minoring in Paper Science and taking classes primarily in intermediate and advanced engineering principles, enthusiastically building a diverse portfolio of knowledge to carry into my career. I regularly organize and participate in K-12 Outreach events focused on getting young girls excited about STEM. Growing up, I never felt particularly welcomed in my science and math classes, and this notion only grew as I advanced further in my education. I struggled with confidence- never quite feeling like I had all the capabilities to be a successful engineer. Now, leveraging my leadership in student organizations like The Society of Women Engineers, I am able to be that voice of empowerment for others that I once so desperately craved. Showing students they possess everything it takes to become anything they put their mind too brings far greater joy than any promotion or award ever could. I am currently interning with Solenis in a technical sales focus, learning all about engineering skills in practice, as well as how to effectively cater to a variety of different customer needs. This role has helped hone my ability to build strong interpersonal relationships in order to achieve collaborative success! I cannot wait to continue exploring the ways I can positively impact those around me through my career.
