Read more and watch the full video below.
What do you hope to gain from your CF internship?
This summer, I hope to gain alot of hands-on experience and make connections with great people.
What are your long-term goals and how will your STEM education help you get there?
One of my long-term goals is to design my own project; either designing a building like the CF Industries building, or designing some of the chemical plants that I'm going to intern at this summer. My STEM career will help me get there by teaching me certain software required to design it.
Can you tell us about a transformative experience?
Growing up, I always loved sports and I used to be a big basketball player, but it didn't really go the way I wanted it to. I always had a fall back plan of using my intellect, which led me to pursue engineering, a real career. It transformed the way I live my day to day life.
