“Some of the most interesting classes I’ve taken here have been in the
chemistry department. I work as a chemistry peer tutor, helping those who are struggling in their freshman
chemistry classes.” Earned a certificate in materials science and in engineering and sustainable
energy.

WHY

“When I applied to Princeton University, I knew that I wanted to be a chemical engineer.
It’s fast-paced and exciting, and I like that I can apply my knowledge of the physical sciences
and mathematics to create practical solutions to real-world problems.”
