Bio/Description

Hey everyone! My name is Ryan and I am from Mahwah, New Jersey. I am in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering department, and I am hoping to pursue certificates in Applied and Computational Mathematics and Robotics and Intelligent Systems. In my free time, I love to play soccer, mountain bike, and watch movies. Around campus, I write crossword puzzles for the Daily Princetonian newspaper and am part of the Wawa United club soccer team. I am very excited to be a PAA this upcoming year and meet you all!

Favorite memory from my first year at Princeton:  Freshman year, a few friends in my Zee Group got together to make a Rocky intramural volleyball team. We made it all the way to the finals and even got a shoutout in the newspaper. I got really involved with many intramural sports after that because of how much fun we had.

Princeton class that shaped the way I think and why: I loved LIN201: Introduction to Language and Linguistics because I got to learn about a completely new topic. This class was fun, challenging, and brought me a new understanding of how all languages are connected to each other.
