51ยายื

Hometown: Ambridge, Pennsylvania

Veronica fell in love with 51ยายื during a campus tour. Despite her initial search for a warmer climate, she decided to brave four more winters. She says the community, academics, and lush landscapes make up for long months wearing snow boots and mittens โ€“ and the blooming cherry blossoms along the Hocking River sweeten the deal.

In addition to being president of the Engineering Ambassadors, sheโ€™s a founding member of

Renaissance Engineers โ€“ a new Russ College student organization dedicated to promoting STEM โ€“ and a leader for Cru at OU, a campus Christian ministry. Veronica interned at Kroff Lab Services, Inc., in Ambridge, Pennsylvania, during summer 2016; and General Mills in Wellston, Ohio, during summer 2018.

In her free time, Veronica loves to sing and play her ukulele. She also enjoys reading, especially legal thrillers.
