-: NJIT had a huge impact on where I am.
I truly believe that it gave me the confidence that I needed
to, one, challenge myself to go into engineering,
and two, to dare to be different.
They have a women's center here,
that I really took home to,
and really developed some really good relationships there,
and you know, got the confidence to be like,
hey, well, I'm gonna apply for this job,
even though no one's ever heard of it,
or, I'm going to switch my major to chemical engineering
even though I'm really scared,
and I don't know if this math class is gonna,
I'm gonna make it.
So, I think it did give me the confidence
that I need to excel,
especially in a male predominant industry
that is manufacturing.
Came from a all-girl school,
coming to NJIT was really tough,
but after being here,
seeing all the diversity that it is,
it really gave me the skill set that I need
to cater to different people
and interact with different people.
