My name is Allie Tornes. I am a first year student studying Chemical Engineering. I am a part of the Society of Women Engineers(SWE) and I am in the Humanitarian Engineering Scholars program, where we focus on using engineering skills to help the community through projects and service. I am a graduate from Big Walnut High School where I was a cheerleader for all four years. I also participated in National Honors Society, Math Honors Society (Mu Alpha Theta), Social Studies Honor Society, and Girl Scouts. In Girl Scouts I completed my Gold Award this past year, where I created a website for families with children who have a parent with breast cancer.
My top 5 strengths are:
- Learner
- Discipline
- Achiever
- Responsibility
- Competition
All of these help define who I am, but especially being a learner. I love to learn and I am an eager and willing student, especially on topics in the STEM fields. Also whenever I have to read something or do an activity, I never do it part way, I always finish things to completion. I also enjoy routine and structure, where I plan things out and always get things done on time. I am neat and am always looking for ways to improve. Next, I am an achiever. I always work hard and once I narrow down my priorities, I am much more engaged in my work. I give a strong effort into reaching my goals and I aim to overcome any limitations that could stand in the way. I am also a big believer in responsibility, where I am very reliable and will do whatever it takes to get something done or to follow through on a commitment. Lastly is competition, where I strive to be one of the best. Previous achievements help to motivate me and I usually devote myself to one activity at a time, which improves my overall performance.
