B.S. , Bioengineering
The biggest lesson I’m taking away from Stanford is that it’s all within my hands.

After an education like this, I feel like it’s really within my reach to be able to do crazy, amazing things with the engineering problems in the world.

The opportunity to really take a lead in a project or in an engineering problem is something I didn’t dream I’d be able to do coming into an undergraduate education. I’m leaving Stanford feeling very capable.
