I love the people who belong to the MMA community; the ones who create the welcoming and supportive reputation it holds. Something the Academy stresses are the many options on campus for help and guidance in or outside of the classroom.

My hopes for the future are to make the best of my years at MMA, graduate with a degree in Power Engineering, and utilize that degree in the industry.

Why did you pick MMA?

I chose MMA because of its amazing reputation, high job placement rating, and the environment of the campus. Education and preparedness for beyond graduation is taken very seriously here, and that is what was most important to me.
