Quote:

“Everyone has skills that they can use to uplift society and their family. I have been blessed to be able to study and learn about Materials Engineering. My father was able to serve our country through his work on submarines. I look forward to the opportunity to serve our nation through the study of Materials Engineering and the possibility of research or industry in the future.”
