What has been your favorite class so far and why?
Transportation Engineering has been my favorite class because I enjoyed learning how engineers optimize both efficiency and safety on our roads. Analyzing and designing roads was like solving a puzzle!

Spending time with family, exploring the outdoors, playing basketball and tennis, and solving different kinds of puzzles.

I chose Sebago Technics because I wanted to apply what I’ve learned at UMaine to actual work being done in my community. The enthusiastic and collaborative environment at Sebago was very attractive, as well as the great variety of projects that they are involved in. I hope to learn about the process of a project from start to finish, and seeing all the steps taken to satisfy the client while following all design requirements.
Where would you like to go on a dream vacation?
Australia, maybe stopping by New Zealand while there!

Discovering a new place together, especially one by the water. Also doing something active, like hiking or playing a sport.
