Why did you choose your major/what do you want to do with your degree?
Ever since my 7th grade year, I have always been fascinated with the stars and the heavens above. From there I realized I wanted to study Astrophysics for the rest of my life. My degree should facilitate my journey to graduate school which would eventually lead to a career in Academia.
What is your favorite thing about the Camras Scholars Program?
The generosity and the leadership skills it gives to its scholars and the surrounding community.
Where do you see yourself in 20 years?
20 years from now, I would start my career as an independent researcher in some University or as a government agent (I would have completed postdocs and graduate school by then).
How do you think you best represent what it means to be a Camras scholar?
I feel like I have yet to fully engage in my potential as a Camras scholar as of now. But I do feel that I have just finished some fairly difficult classes and had strong finish.
