MAJOR<\/h3>\n

Mechanical Engineering<\/a><\/p>\n

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO ATTEND MARYMOUNT?<\/h3>\n
The first priority of my college search was to find a university in Virginia with a decent engineering program. When I came across this small university in the suburbs of D.C., it was a very desirable location for me because I intend on pursuing a career in aerospace engineering \u2014 and the DMV area is a hub for a variety of ventures in the space sector.\u00a0Another deciding factor was the communication I had with the head of the Engineering department,\u00a0Dr. Eric Bubar<\/a>. We had a lengthy discussion about his goals and plans for the new program, the practical applications and how it will cultivate my future career. These discussions helped me realize that at Marymount, I will be more than just a number \u2014 I will get the opportunity to work extensively on projects I\u2019m interested in, get the full attention of my instructors and most importantly, it\u2019s a program in which students are the central figures. Moreover, I hold Dr. Bubar in high regard with respect and admiration, and decided he was the mentor I would want to spend the next years with on my\u00a0academic journey.<\/span><\/div>\n

WHAT IS YOUR DESIRED CAREER PATH?<\/h3>\n
I intend on pursuing a career in aerospace engineering \u2014 specifically, satellite hardware development.<\/span><\/div>\n

WHAT ARE YOU INVOLVED IN OUTSIDE OF CLASS?<\/h3>\n

I am currently serving my campus as a student ambassador, being the face of Marymount for our prospective students. Additionally, I am working in our Engineering department as a research assistant.<\/span><\/p>\n

WHAT DOES BLACK HISTORY MONTH MEAN TO YOU?<\/h3>\n
To me, Black History Month is a symbol of the American resilience. I come from a country where dark moments of our history are suppressed and not recognized. Hence, I know for a fact that one should not take for granted the recognition America has given to the dark times in the nation\u2019s history. Moreover, it is not just a matter of recognizing the harm and oppression that the Black community has faced, but it is also a covenant that moving forward, America will be a nation for all to thrive regardless of the color of their skin.<\/span><\/div>\n

HOW ARE YOU CELEBRATING BLACK HISTORY MONTH THIS YEAR?<\/h3>\n
I am celebrating Black History Month this year by enriching myself with the history of the American Revolution, the good and the bad.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
