Before this summer I never imagined myself working in New York City. I always saw myself as someone too layed back for the hustle in bustle of the Big Apple, but to my surprise I ended up loving it and how much I walked/saw on a daily basis! I was in New York as the Sustainability Consulting Intern for Arup. …
Luckily, this Winter Break I escaped the cold. Really my whole life I’ve escaped the cold/snow growing up in Florida, and going to college in Southern California. As the second week of school rolls by I’m excited for what’s in store in my classes. This is the first semester where all of my classes (except for the soccer one I’m …

Moving out to LA for school seemed so intimidating, partly because I was going to be surrounded by so many new faces. Seven of these new faces I was about to be directly living with in an 8 person suite. Naturally, I was a little nervous but I ended up loving the experience and made such close friends. I lived …
I joined the Construction Management Association of America (CMAA) student chapter at USC this year! In CMAA, I am part of the Design-Build team where we train to complete Design-Build contracts. Every year we compete in SPARKS, a regional competition where we are given a problem statement the day of the competition. After 24 hours, we have to submit a …
So we are in October, which means we’re about half way through the Fall semester. Right now, is a good time to look back and reflect on how the semester has been going. I find this helpful to see what has been working and how I can improve to finish strong. I’m studying Civil Engineering with an emphasis in Building …
Yo yo yo whats up. So, choosing a major… it’s hard.. especially when you have so many options. But guess what, you don’t have to know exactly what you’re going to study entering your freshman year. And, even if you think you know what you’re going to study, your experiences at college might shape your path in a different way …
The first year of college for me was a big adjustment period. You meet A LOT of people in such a short amount of time, but establishing a consistent friend group takes a while. However, this can be done by getting involved. When you join clubs and organizations which you are interested in, you find people from different backgrounds and …
Before visiting USC I had never been to the West Coast of the United States before. I grew up in South Florida and had always wanted to go to California because of all the adventure and good weather that it’s known for. So, for me the transition from high school to college encompassed moving to a part of the country …
Wow. Okay, this one is going to be hard to write. I feel like I could write a blog post about each individual day I spent in China, but hopefully I can sum up my trip in this one. This summer I got the pleasure of going to China to study bamboo as a structural and design material. This opportunity was thanks …
When people talk about USC, they always seem to mention the strong alumni network, the Trojan Family. And it’s true! I got to experience it first hand last Friday, when a USC Alumni, Catherine Tang, gave me a tour of a company I would love to work for in the future, AECOM. AECOM does it all, architecture, construction, consulting, management, …
One of the coolest things about exploring Los Angeles is that you never know what you’re going to run into. I am definitely a beach person, so on the weekends I tend to look for little beach escapes around Los Angeles. Most recently I’ve gone to Point Dume Beach and Santa Monica, and both of those times I ran into some unexpected …
During finals week, most of my time is spent studying for my exams. However, it’s also when the Exposition Park rose garden is in full bloom! As my Freshman Year came to a close, it was important for me to take study breaks! Between studying for my Differential Equations, Physics I and Art History finals I took a break and …
