"I am now a full-time student at the University of Michigan-Dearborn with 3 semesters until completion of a BSME. At the time when I received the SWE award (during the COVID year), I was working in the automotive industry full-time and attending classes at Schoolcraft College in the evening. Progress was very slow while working, so I rearranged some things in my life to become a full-time student. I continue to move forward!

I want to thank all of you for your support, the opportunity, and the award.  I have found and am now participating in SWE at UM-Dearborn and am now on the CECS Student Advisory Board."
