Dakota Bernhart '16 Recruiting Profile

I'm currently a student in the Elkins engineering academy, and captain of the water polo team. I enjoy meeting people and I consider myself a team player. I'm extremely competitive,mostly with myself, and I'm never truly satisfied with my times. This has contributed to my steady time drop over the years. 

I currently volunteer in the community at a plethora of locations, especially those involving engineering of any kind. I want to be an engineer when I grow up, or manage an international business that focuses on the implementation of solar, thermal, and other earth friendly technologies into modern society. I want to change the world by reducing carbon emissions globally. 

When swimming in college my ultimate goal would be to get good enough to go to the Olympics. However smaller goals of mine include being a part of an amazing relay, or even helping my team become the best or remain the best team in our division. I plan on working hard to achieve these goals.
