Elizabeth Worsham is a recent graduate of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University where she studied Mechanical Engineering. Elizabeth was on the Hydroponics team for Team Daytona Beach. She chose her major at Embry-Riddle because she wanted an engineering degree that would give her a wide variety of applications. Elizabeth chose to join Team Daytona Beach because it allowed her to do be involved in a project with the Department of Energy!

We wanted to get to know Elizabeth better, so we had her answer some questions:

1. We finish the interview and you step outside the office and find a lottery ticket that ends up winning $10 million. What would you do? Invest some, repay my parents for the money they spent raising me, set up a scholarship fund to give full tuition to students, then travel the world.
2. What do you think about when you’re alone in your car? I just sing to myself.
3. If you could be any animal in the world, what animal would you be and why? A house cat. I wouldn’t have any responsibilities.
4. What do you want to be when you grow up? A Disney princess, but I’ll settle for the voice of a Disney princess.
5. What inspires you? The opportunity to leave the world better than I found it.
6. What’s the most interesting thing about you that we wouldn’t learn from your resume alone? When I was younger I wanted to be an animator for Pixar and a voice actor. Maybe someday I’ll still get to do it.
7. If you could throw a parade of any caliber through your school, what type of parade would it be? People would parade through campus handing out free food every day at every meal time.
8. If you could sing one song on American Idol, what would it be? Gravity by Sarah Bareilles.
9. What’s your favorite quote? “We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…” – John F. Kennedy

Elizabeth, we want to thank you for being a part of such an integral part of our project. We all appreciate your time commitment and contributions!
