Mentees

I would describe myself as an introverted extrovert. I am energetic, adventurous, and loyal. I am also a very adaptable person as I have had many large changes in my life including living internationally.

My name is Taqi Tahmid and I am a determined and diligent freshman studying cybersecurity at Drexel University. Eager to immerse myself in the college experience, I'm seeking a peer mentor to guide me through this crucial journey. I'm driven to succeed in my career, and I'm committed to learning and growing. I value the insights and advice a mentor can provide to help me navigate the complexities of college life and make informed decisions regarding my future in cybersecurity.

I would say I am someone who is dedicated and earnest once I commit myself to something. Academically and professionally, I consider myself to be goal-oriented, pragmatic, and always seeking opportunities to improve. With my friends and loved ones, I try my best to be there for them and support them, whether it be by offering a listening ear, giving advice, or just simply being in their company. Having grown up in Vietnam for 16 years and then coming here, I have been able to really learn and unlearn myself, which encourages me to actively put myself out there and try new experiences!

I am a masters in Computer Science student. I did my undergrad in Electronics but I realized that I want to do something more practical in life and transitioned to CS and ever since, I havent looked back and as I started to learn more, I realized solving problems with other people and collaborating makes everything so much better. I am an adventurous person and I am always down to meet new people and learn from their experiences and life.

Hey, I'm Sreeja! I'm from Bergen County, New Jersey. I'm pretty chill as a person, and I love hanging out with friends for simple things like studying or exciting things like going to explore new places. I really like finding out new things to do, indoors and outdoors included. However I'm pretty indecisive, so don't expect me to make decisions on the spot. Most of my favorite things consist of being cozy at home, since I'm pretty introverted. But with the right people, I can be really playful! I love photography and capturing memories, being in nature (watching sunsets and stargazing >>>), cafes, and spending time with people I care about! You can be one too <3

I was born in China but moved to the US when I was 3. I'm normally quiet and reserved if I'm not that close with people but open up more when I get to know people. I'm also an introvert so socializing too much makes me tired.

I’m from the Poconos, PA but I was born in Brooklyn. I’m more on the quiet side in a big group setting but I like meeting new people. I do best in smaller groups or one-on-one. When I am interested in something, I tend to commit fully to it.

Currently a 2/5 and majoring in Software Engineering. I'm also commuter who you will 100% see in Korman sometime during the day.

I'm an understanding, reliable, and light hearted person. I am very honest about my opinions but sometimes I come across as blunt. I'm introverted but love spending quality time with people I feel comfortable around. I'm a hard worker and try to get things done as soon as possible, however, I can become easily distracted. I love learning new things like random little facts to cultural traditions, and I just like to be educated in the world around us.

I am a computer science major, and I hope to make the most out of my college career. I am also a member of VSA, ASA, and Women in Computing Society. I try to be an organized person and plan out my school days. I like to talk to new people, and while I am always excited to make new friends, I also like spending time in my dorm ever since my roommate and I bought a sunset light.

im an outgoing and social person, i adore those who are close with me. i can be very blunt but it's not meant to be rude

My name is Matthew I am originally from South Carolina I moved here mainly cause I've always wanted to live in a city. But also there are just a lot more opportunities here than if I had gone to a college in the state. I would say one good thing about me is I know when to shut up im ngl I don't know how to elaborate on that. Also, one bad thing about me is I have horrible grammar.

I am a pretty quiet person but I'll talk when I feel comfortable. I'm pretty much down to do anything whether it be studying, playing games, watching shows, or just hanging out.

I love all music besides country and will listen to anything you put on aux. I promise I respond fast and will almost always be down to do something unless I have homework that needs my urgent attention !!

I like to hang out with friends and try new things, and I would say i’m more laid back. I have lots of interests, but I’m a big basketball fan (Lakers fan).

I also like playing music and have been trying to get back into playing the viola since I used to play the viola for 8 years but haven't played in a while. One thing that I really like to do is try out different cuisines. Whenever I'm given the opportunity I like to try different foods from different places. This is also the reason I like cooking but I haven't been able to do much of that recently.

I am an International Student from Vietnam, currently studying at Drexel. I am a CS major as well as a freshman. I had an older brother who also went to Drexel, and studied the same major. My reason for going to Drexel was for the Co-Op programme. I consider myself to be laid-back but am willing to put in the work when needed. I try to find the easiest way to do things rather than following by the rules.

i’m an ex exploratory psychology student, but they kicked me out and put me in a different psych (ward). now i’m a struggling uxid kid who wastes all of my money on retail therapy and cute drinks to feed my delusions. i am aggressively shaking my tin can and will accept all donations. i love reading and writing; learning about the ocean, typology, and languages; hanging out with the neighborhood cats; and just having a good laugh, honestly. let’s have fun together! message approved by sreeja and michelle, hehe

Hello, my name is Daniyar and I am from Kazakhstan (Central Asia). I am very versatile person, my hobbies are basketball, soccer or any kind of sports:) I am very glad to be part of SASE and aiming for expansion of my both academic and social skills through this organization. I prefer mixture of study and relaxation.

I am a very introverted person who would love to learn more programming knowledge. I like listening to music and scrolling on social media during my free time. I consider myself to be a curious and studious student. I love to spread awareness on social justice issues and I hope to use my programming skills to raise awareness in the future.

I'm fairly relaxed and passionate about all sorts of creative expressions and endeavors. I enjoy learning and tinkering. I love all sorts of different media such as cartoons, movies and comics. I'd like to think of myself as easy to get along with and enjoy helping people get into things that I enjoy.

My name is Cindy. I like to play games and draw!

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York City my entire life. Some of my hobbies include enjoy exploring the city and trying out new stuff. I'm a bit of an introvert so sometimes it's hard for me to open up to people. But I like to give it my all in almost everything I do.

I am from Central New Jersey, and am Taiwanese and Cantonese. I love to stay active, workout, and am a super big runner, I ran track from 5th-12th grade. I love all foods, specifically taiwanese beef noodle soup, and pretty much anything that involves carbs. I'd like to say I am pretty adventurous, spontaneous, and optimistic. I also love all music like indie and house.

As an Indonesian-American, I often find it difficult to fit into certain groups. From growing up in a predominantly white neighborhood to attending a predominantly white school, I became used to code switching my personality. In 10th grade, I finally found people who allowed me to open up and be my true, authentic self- talking a lot (according to my best friend), getting boba at least once a week, and thriving most when I have a million things to do rather than nothing at all. I am hoping to double major or possibly minor in bio!

Hi, I'm Ben and currently a freshman. I'm a little introverted, but I am friendly and open up a lot when people get to know me. I also love food and love going out to eat with people. My favorite food is sushi!

I'm small but powerful, like the energizer bunny! I'd like to think I'm pretty assertive and know what I want. But I'm also pretty laid back and like to go with the flow. My outlook on life is optimistic pessimism, so hope for the best and plan for the worst. I've been told that I have a pretty big voice, which I don't see as a bad thing. My ADHD can sometimes get the best of me, but I think that's what makes my life exciting. And I live for dad jokes.

I am a Filipino American who is very kind, caring, sporty, ambiverted, responsible, and likes meeting new people that I can find myself getting along with. I’m from New York and I came to Philly for college. I’m the oldest sibling and I feel like I learned a lot about being responsible and taking care of my younger sister. I love hanging out with friends and family and going outside to go on an adventure.

Filipino American student studying mechanical engineering. I’m looking to take full advantage of the organizations at drexel and co-ops to get experience but also enjoy myself during my time in college and make friends.

I usually don't talk a lot, so when I do, you know it's because I see you as a close friend and someone I can trust. I am a very picky and indecisive person to be around (if you ask for a place to eat, don't ask me). I don't have a lot of patience, but when I do, I wait forever. I love food. If you give me food, we can instantly be friends.

I'm Ana and I'm currently studying UX Design. I would consider myself to be an omnivert. I love talking to people, but I tend to be more introverted in a professional/ school setting. I live in Garnet Valley, which is 40 minutes out of the city. I love shopping, eating out, and watching shows and movies. I also like to do design challanges in my free time.
