“When I’m not studying I work two days a week.”

“When I’m not studying I work two days a week at a refrigeration company so I’m getting a good balance of the practical and the theory. I’m hoping to jump straight into an apprenticeship after this and the things I’m learning here at MIT will help me get ahead in my apprenticeship.

I chose MIT because I thought it was the best fit for me coming from a high school that didn’t focus much on the practical work I wanted to slowly build into the practical side of things instead of jumping straight into the trade.”
