What is your favorite thing about MIT? My friends and extracurriculars!

How did FLI help you during your time as an MIT undergrad? FLI has given me a tight-knit community of people that are always willing to help academically, emotionally, and professionally. I’ve met so many mentors through FLI, and I’m so proud to be part of this community.

What made you want to be a FLI Student Advisory Board member? MIT is undoubtedly difficult, particularly so for FLI students. After coming to campus, though, I met so many wonderful FLI advisors, professors, and students who helped me gain confidence navigating college. As FLI Junior Chair, I hope to pay this mentorship forward!

What advice would you give to your first-year self? Ask for help or extra time when you need it.

What do you do for fun outside of work/school? In my free time, I like to paint, sculpt, and draw. I also enjoy traveling with friends and visiting new cafes!
