Ask me about...

Feel free to reach out about fulfilling engineering school requirements while abroad, the difference in academics between the UoE and Penn, and just general advice on navigating life across the pond.

My Experience Abroad:

I always knew that I wanted to study abroad, but at the same time I needed to be able to satisfy my major requirements since I was also pursuing an accelerated masters degree. There were a lot of courses at the University of Edinburgh that were equivalent to courses at Penn, so it gave me flexibility in terms choosing what courses I was interested in and wanted to take..

Other Highlights:

Some of my highlights while studying abroad were: exploring the Scottish Highlands, discovering the culinary brilliance of an English scone, getting to travel across the EU and UK (for the first time!), and meeting amazing people that I was able to form lasting memories with.
