Summary
I am currently a second-year student at The University California Los Angeles (UCLA) studying Material Science Engineering. I see myself as a problem solver with materials engineering being a major that allows me to explore various branches of science in great depth. I consider Materials science to be key to understanding the building blocks of the world we live in today, something I find both interesting and inspiring. Whilst I have chosen a degree in science, I also have a lifelong interest in the arts. Being creative as well as scientific helps me to approach problem-solving with a different dynamic. I am naturally curious, with a sense of adventure and always embrace new challenges and experiences. Whilst I am able to work independently I thrive working as part of a team. I believe myself to be hardworking, conscientious and committed to whatever endeavor I undertake.
