Majors: Applied Mathematics and Computer Science<\/em>
\nHometown: Middletown, RI<\/em><\/p>\n

Q. What makes the College of Arts and Sciences at URI unique?
\n<\/strong>A. The College of Arts and Sciences is unique because of its flexibility and helpful staff. A&S allows you to explore a variety of fields and develop a curriculum that best suits your interests and abilities. The staff will help guide you along the way, encouraging you to make the most of your time at URI. I came in as a general mathematics major, and thanks to the supportive faculty members that I have had the opportunity to interact with while I’ve been here, I am graduating with a B.S. in applied mathematics and computer science with plans for graduate school through the Accelerated 5-Year B.S.\/M.S. Program. None of that would be possible if it weren’t for the College of Arts & Sciences at URI.<\/span><\/p>\n

What accomplishments and\/or activities at URI are you most proud of now?
\n<\/strong>I am most proud of being a first-generation college student that is able to graduate as a double major in three years and is on track to earn an M.S. one year after. I am also very proud of the fact that I have earned scholarships, maintained a 4.0 GPA and made the Dean’s List every semester so far, and hopefully, that continues as I finish my undergraduate studies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Can you tell us about an internship you completed?
\n<\/strong>The summer after my junior year, I had a software engineering internship at Rite-Solutions in Middletown, where I worked under a team of engineers. There I was able to reinforce my studies and take what I had learned in the classroom and apply it to the real world. It was a great environment that I enjoyed being a part of, and it was so interesting being able to connect every part of the work I was doing to courses I have taken at URI.<\/span><\/p>\n

What do you value about your liberal arts education?
\n<\/strong>I value the support I have had and the relationships I have made during my liberal arts education. There is a genuine community that I am grateful to be a part of, and it has inspired me to set goals and exceed them. The support and respect that I have felt in these relationships with everyone in this community will stay with me as I move forward with my career and my life, far beyond URI’s campus, and I cannot express how appreciative I am for that.<\/span><\/p>\n

What have been some highlights of your time in the Mathematics department?<\/strong>The highlight of my time in the Mathematics department has been learning from and working with the professors. While I was taking her MTH 244: Differential Equations<\/em> course, Professor Li Wu advised me to pursue applied mathematics, which was the catalyst for many other opportunities and experiences I have had in the Mathematics department. Professor Vasilije Perovi\u0107 helped prepare me for the Accelerated M.S. program, taking time to meet with me at least once a semester to discuss coursework. I have had the opportunity to work under Professor Lubos Thoma and Professor Juhyung Lee as a math TA, which allowed me to (hopefully) make a positive impact on others. There are numerous other professors, advisors, mentors, and peers I have had the pleasure of meeting in the Mathematics department, and I would not be where I am without them, so I am incredibly thankful for everything I have learned and experienced here at URI.<\/span><\/p>\n

What’s next for you?
\n<\/strong>After graduating, I plan to earn my Masters in applied mathematics, finishing next spring. After that, it’s TBD. I’m not sure exactly what I want to do or where I want to go, so I am open to whatever opportunities I come across. Regardless of where I end up, my goal is to broaden my horizons and keep learning new things.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
