Graduation Nears...

Yes, I am finally going to graduate from college. It has only been 5 years in the running, but hey most everyone graduates in 5 years now-a-days.


OSU Memorial Union

But so many things have taken place over these 5 years I have spent at Oregon State University. Not only have I found a career that I have a passion for, but I have grown and changed so much as an individual.

It is funny how such a simple (yet important) decision can drastically change your life. Attending OSU sent my life in such a crazy direction, and definitely a direction I would have never expected. My original plan was to attend OSU to play for the OSU Women’s Soccer Team and had no clear major in mind. But my path quickly changed as I discovered civil engineering and dived head first into pursuing that degree and career.

Since then, I quit soccer, became overly involved in the ASCE Student Chapter on campus (eventually becoming President), took part in 2 CECOP internships in Portland, completed my first structural design (a remodel of a fire station in Portland), and here I am 5 years later preparing to graduate and move on to my next adventures.

My time spend at OSU has been so amazing! I meet so many amazing people and made life-long friends. I will definitely miss it here in little old Corvallis, but I am also excited to leave because now there are just too many exciting things to look forward to!
