How did the Stamps Scholarship help shape your undergraduate experience?
The Stamps Scholarship allowed me the opportunity to develop my teaching & mentoring skills in Georgia Tech’s 1st Year Seminar. Through the three study abroads (China, West Europe, Central Europe) it has fundamentally changed my perspective and how I believe I can change the world. Being in this community has taught me that Ê?°Êú≪ĉ?à‰?çÂèØËÉ?ÁöÑ – nothing is impossible!
Tell us a piece of wisdom you’ve learned over the past four years.
In these past 5 years, I’ve learned to “pursue failure, dance with success, and aim for significance”. My most important lessons came when I did something big, something beyond my expertise and skillset, something that made me grow into the shoes of a leader. At Georgia Tech, that often means you encounter more failure than success. But right behind that failure is the key to making a difference. That said, success is like sugar. It can be addicting, but a life without it is rather hard to stomach. But with a combination of failure, success, hard work, and community you can make an impact that changes people’s lives.
Who has had the greatest impact on you throughout your college career and how so?
Perhaps the outgoing Georgia Tech Dean of the College of Engineering, Dr. Gary May. He gave me encouragement, project visibility, and most importantly a career role model.
What’s your favorite Stamps Scholar memory?
Taking roommate bonding pictures with my Stamps Roommates my junior year. It was silly, ridiculous, and just full of merriment.
