Walter O’Meally

Heyo! My name is Walter. I am a junior majoring in Mechanical Engineering and minoring in Math. I’m living in East Hartford, Connecticut with my family, but I am originally from the Caribbean. A fun fact about me is I play the ukulele.

Rebecca Metzman

Hi, I’m Rebecca.  I’m an incoming sophomore majoring in CIS.  I’m from New Jersey.  In my free time I enjoy baking, cooking, and hanging out with friends.

Dagny Lott

Hi everyone! My name is Dagny and I am a rising sophomore in Mechanical Engineering, planning to minor in Engineering Entrepreneurship. I started at Penn two years ago but I just took a gap-year, hence why I am a sophomore, not a junior. During my year off, I had my first engineering internship, travelled to South America for a couple months, and (sort-of) learned how to surf. At Penn, my life looks a little bit different. When I’m not in one of the engineering buildings, I am usually practicing with the Ultimate Frisbee team (woohoo! come join.) or setting up my hammock on Locust Walk. I am also apart of Big Brothers and Big Sisters at Penn. Now that I am back in the Philly, my goal this summer is to explore the city’s food scene, especially the food trucks. Hopefully I’ll know all the best spots for you to check out when you finally come to campus. Can’t wait to meet all of you!

Michelle Kwon

Hey guys! I am a senior BE student on the pre-med track currently living in South Korea (grew up in New Jersey)! This will be my third year as an OPA and I am so excited to meet all of you guys! I lived in Ware my freshmen year, and currently live off campus. On campus, I am part of a volunteer organization called Camp Kesem and a food publication called Penn Appétit (these are my absolute favorite things, so please ask about them if you’re interested). Other than that, I’ve volunteered at the hospital, had research experience outside of Penn, and enjoy baking and photography. Welcome to Penngineering 🙂

Keshava Katti

My name is Keshava, and I am a rising senior studying electrical engineering with a minor in computer science. I currently reside in the greater Seattle area, but I was born and raised in North Dakota. My interests within EE are data science and machine learning, specifically deep neural networks. I am currently a member of the Jariwala Lab Group working on in-memory computing and hardware neural networks. Outside of the classroom, I like to produce future bass and trap music, mix cocktails, and support my favorite soccer club, FC Barcelona. On campus, you are most likely to catch me at Starbucks Under Commons, Pottruck Gym, or Engineering.

Evan Bean

Hey guys! I’m Evan & I’m a rising junior studying Chemical/Biomolecular Engineering with concentrations in biotechnology and nanotechnology. I spent part of my last summer working with Professor Axelsen’s Alzheimer’s lab and will be returning there this coming fall. This summer I’ll be working with Pfizer in robotic automation & optimization! I’m currently the president of Pennchants, a really great a cappella group at Penn (come audition!), and the technology director for the Student Activities Council. When I’m not in class, in the lab, or singing, you can find me studying in the chapter house at Phi Kappa Psi or designing a stopping mechanism for the ChemE Car team in the engineering department.

I look forward to helping you guys adjust to college and hope to make your experience as great as I can!
