"Hi everyone, I am Dalia! I'm a mechanical engineering major that loves to make and design things. I joined PSP the spring of 2020. Ever since I've joined, I've always felt welcomed by the members and I've made many memories. Everyone is super friendly and fun! 
 
I love going on spontaneous adventures to explore different places, to try new foods, or to simply have fun with friends. The picture on the right is when I completed the world's largest corn maze in Dixon with friends. I had fun going in circles and going through the corn field. Aside from this, I enjoy listening to many music genres, learning new languages, creating art (both through painting and through photography), and creative writing."
