Plans
After watching the world suffer through multiple, preventable chemical disasters, I plan on attending Georgia Tech to study chemical and biomolecular engineering to better manage safety in the industry. Upon graduation, I also hope to enter the field of renewable energy to speed up our planet’s transition to a green future via wind, solar, or any other clean methods.
