“I’m so grateful that UMass Amherst was a good fit for me and that I found my place in the biomedical engineering program! Throughout my time here, I learned and will take with me, these things:
- If you chase your passion and interest, the rest will fall into place.
- Remember to find support. Having the right people around will help you succeed.
- Don’t be afraid to ask for help.
- Prioritize your physical and mental health.
- Try your best to learn from mistakes.
- Find out what works for you and what doesn’t.
- Take risks.
- Recognize your strengths and your weaknesses.
You got this!”
