Real talk. I’ve come to realize that being successful isn’t so much about that I am the smartest, or the nicest, or even the prettiest. It’s more about how I carry myself, respect myself, know myself, and believe in myself. Every so often I feel the sophomore slump, ie, doing a crap ton of work but not really knowing where to go from there. Going into engineering freshman year without having a clue what it entailed was scary, and now that I’ve been studying for a year and a half, it’s even scarier realizing how much I don’t know and how much I still have yet to learn. It’s so easy to get discouraged, especially when I feel that my friends and classmates maybe have an advantage over me in terms being “smart”. But at the end of the day, knowing that I can succeed through faith in God, hard work, effort and the support of my professors and fellow students (especially the ladies!) is what makes the daily struggles worth something. #nerdout ~ “If anyone tells you it’s impossible to be fabulous and smart and make a ton of money using math, well, they can just get in line behind you – and kiss your math.” – Danica McKellar (I’m a #mathgeek – ask me about my favorite function, please and thank you!)
I am originally from Long Island, New York. Now, I live and work in D.C. at as an acoustic consultant.
I graduated from The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. with my bachelors of mechanical engineering in May of 2020. I love living in D.C. because it is smaller than New York City (where I basically grew up), so it was easy to get around. There is always something fun to do all day, every day. I have a few blog posts up about my time at Catholic University, and I plan to write a lot more!
If there is one thing that you remember from reading this, it should be that I love spending quality time with friends and family. They are my support system, and I would not be the woman I am today without each and every one of them. Simply put, they mean the world to me.
I am also a faithful Catholic and have a passion for music and art. I play the piano, guitar, ukulele, kalimba, and I sing!
When I started this blog, I was back in New York due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the shutdown of my campus. My sister and I published a few episodes of our podcast called The Chirp at the beginning of the summer, but when we both started working, it become difficult to manage. I started this blog in August of 2020 because I was looking for a new recreational project that would stick. So, here’s to a new start!
