Why I'm a mentor

I'm a mentor to educate tomorrow's leaders in the vast growth of technology. Also I can help kids put their skills and knowledge to the test and realize their visions.

What I'm working on

A civil engineering student typically studies structure, construction and water resources. I am studying solids, fluids, engineering analysis and calculus. My research interest is going to be in structure and winds. I intend to become a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers student chapter here at Texas Tech.

As a Red Raider, I have the passion to pursue new things and understand why they work.

Why I like Texas Tech

My siblings graduated from here, and I always heard how this school transforms students into engineers. This university produces scholars and provides strength to engineering students to put their skills and knowledge to the test.

What I plan to do

After my first degree, I want to continue my education by getting my master's degree and Ph.D. My dream job is to become a professor and researcher so that I can help enlighten and educate communities about the changes in technology.
