Hi! My name is Sazel Pokharel and I’m from Tulsa, Oklahoma. Living in Tulsa all my life, I really wanted a change for my college experience. Being surrounded by engineers in my family sparked my interest in becoming an engineer, and that’s how I found out about Mines. The Harvey scholarship in particular made me drawn to Mines because of its mission to pay it forward and give back to our community, which is something I want to continue to do during my college life. I am forever grateful to be selected as a Harvey scholar because it allowed me to come to Mines and gain many new experiences that I couldn’t get anywhere else. I plan on majoring in Electrical Engineering and hope to go into energy in my future career.
