Ekandrea Miller
I earned my bachelors degree in Chemical Engineering at the University of Illinois in May 2011. My dream is to work in management with a focus in engineering in the food or chemical industries. I would like to apply my knowledge and experiences in engineering and integrate it towards technology research to help solve and prevent technical problems. In my pastime, I enjoy playing a game of chess and rugby-both games have enabled me to think strategically and analytically which I have been to apply in my classes as well as in professional work settings.
