“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!”
