What are your plans and hopes for the future?
“My dad is like, ‘you can do whatever you want as long as you’re an engineer first.’ I would like to be working in policy or government, but realistically—the way my dad has planned my life—it’s a lot of STEM. I’d want to do some sort of policy thing, especially with a focus on minority relationships. There’s a lot of discrimination that goes by, and people don’t understand what they can do and what they’re doing wrong. [My interest] might’ve been sparked when I came to Whitman from a school in Los Angeles that had a lot more minorities. I couldn’t find anyone who looked like me.”
