    Something I loved about being part of the STEM Program.

    What I loved about the STEM program was the mentorship and counseling. It really helped me figure out the path I wanted to take.

    A resource or support program that help you in your transition from the community college to your transfer university.

    The counseling team!

    What is it like to now work in your field?

    Working a corporate job is not exactly what I envisioned doing right out of college but there are so many aspects of my job that I like. As an environmental science major I always dreamed about finding a job where I can have real impact in the world. Now I can do that by helping large businesses decrease their energy consumption and become more efficient and sustainable. 

    Any advice?

    Take advantage of all the resources available to you and don't be afraid to ask for help. 

    Any STEM Shortcuts/hacks you can share? 

    One of my best STEM hacks is teaching what you learn, it forces you to truly understand the material.

    If you had to give advice to yourself when you first started at SMC, what would you say? 

    I would have told myself to enjoy that experience more. Attend more events and make more friends.

    Outside of STEM and related activities, what do you enjoy doing? 

    I am a very crafty person, I love learning new skills and starting new hobbies. I recently got into crochet, painting and gardening.
