Two-year lettewinner on varsity soccer team; team finished first in the district during the 2016-17 season

My aunt first told me to look into Wentowrth because her husband had graduated from there. At first I was not convinced but when I visited and saw the great environment and met some very nice people, I immediately changed opinion. Wentowrth is the perfect school for me because it is not a very big compared to other schools in Boston, it is located in a great area, it offers many activities and clubs, there aren’t a lot of girls which makes me want to prove myself that girls in fact can be great engineers, and as last they offered me an academic scholarship which I could not refuse.

One of my main goals in the future is to find my passion and to never settle for good but always reach for great. I want to become someone that people look up to and respect. I want to be a guide for all those women that would like to become engineers but feel the need to hold back because it is male dominated field.

Daughter of Fabio Orfanini and Monica Cavallini ... Has three siblings, Massimiliano, Edoardo, and Riccardo Orfanini
