Destynn Keuchel
Hi! I’m a sophomore in MSE, doing research this summer in a Penn lab on the efficacy of bio-based concrete. I lived in Lauder College House last year and participated in the PENNacle Pre-Orientation program, which I highly recommend. From making swords in the MSE FabLab to being in Student Government, Chess Club, Penn Innovators, and Effective Altruism, I have been fortunate to be able to find my personal interests as activities in the Penn community.

Hi, I’m Annika! I’m a senior studying bioengineering with a minor in mechanical engineering, and I’m really interested in medical devices. I am also submatriculating to get my master’s in bioengineering. I’m involved in a variety of clubs on campus, including ADAPT, a medical devices club, Penn Reads, a book club I started with some friends my freshman year, and J-Bagel, a queer Jewish organization. I’m a teaching assistant for CIS 1200, which I really enjoy. In my free time, I like reading, writing, and travelling.
