I can honestly say that the work-life balance that came with Materials Science and Wrestling was a recipe for success.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Paul Marcello (BS 2013) wasn’t always set on being a Materials Science major at Johns Hopkins University.<\/p>\n

“When I initially came to Hopkins, I wanted to be a BME.”<\/p>\n

A setback prevented Paul from joining the BME program, but it offered him a chance to reassess the reasons he was interested in the program.<\/p>\n

“I was particularly interested in learning what prosthetics were made out of, why they didn’t disintegrate in the body, if they were equally as strong or stronger than bone, etc. Once I took Materials Science Lab 1 with Dr. Wilson, I knew I was hooked.”<\/p>\n

Through Materials Science, Paul found academic fulfillment. His favorite classes included Materials Characterization with Dr. McGuiggan, Biomaterials with Dr. Mao, and Nanoparticles with Dr. Wilson.<\/p>\n

Like many Materials Science students however, Paul did not settle for academic excellence alone, participating in a number of extracurricular activities, including the Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity, Inter Fraternity Council, and Wrestling team. He was also employed with JHU Phone-a-thon and as a Sports Announcer with Game Operations. Greek life provided a sense of camaraderie and offered opportunities to give back to the JHU community, while on-campus employment nurtured Paul’s outgoing nature.<\/p>\n

“I can honestly say that the work-life balance that came with Materials Science and Wrestling was a recipe for success. I won an award for best Senior Design Presentation from Dr. Orla Wilson and was number two in the country at 141 lbs. at the NCAA Wrestling Championship my senior year.”<\/p>\n

Paul currently works as a Sales Engineer for Trane in South Florida, designing and selling air conditioning systems for commercial buildings. His commitment to an excellent work-life balance has not stopped: he currently takes an online business class and does Cross-Fit in his spare time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-5540","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nPaul Marcello '13 -
