Safania Romas (UMBC '18, Chemical Engineering, traditional track) is interning for the Guardian Pharmaceuticals branch in Singapore. She has been given the fantastic opportunity to apply her knowledge of chemistry into her work in the creation of certain medications, provide customer service (especially since she loves interacting with people), and lend a helping hand. When she is not working, she enjoys excursions to neighboring countries such as Malaysia or Indonesia. She has seen that foreign countries operate differently than the United States and this has helped to broaden her mind and it gives her a new perspective on what it means to be an international engineer or scientist. She likes to tell her peers to break out of their comfort zone and experience new horizons. She also likes to tell people to work at their own pace, gain inspiration, and be open to learning new ideas. She believes that these are the steps to making a great impact on the world.
