Leah Pinner Bachelor of Science in Aeronautical Engineering What is something that you are most proud of? Graduating from a well-known college as a low-income student Future Plans & Goals Missile Systems Engineer at General Dynamics Electric Boat in CT, and hopefully someday helping put humans on Mars! I hope that every sister reading this is reminded that as a KDChi sister you are a loving sister and friend first, professional second. Leaning on each other and loving each other should come before any business or meeting. I almost didn't graduate high school because of health complications, and college was somewhat of a dream because I didn't think I'd live long enough to see it. Now I am one step closer of fulfilling my lifelong goal of being an aerospace engineer. I want to thank everyone who has supported me along my journey, I couldn't have done it alone. As a student with a learning disability navigating online learning as well as coping with the loss of the expected end of undergrad, I want to thank my academic support system at Clarkson, my close friends, and my sisters for leaning on each other through all of this.
