Carole Wilay

I am currently a sophomore at the University of Rochester studying Chemical Engineering with an emphasis in environmental engineering and am passionate about renewable energy and sustainable technology. In light of growing climate concern alongside my deep love for nature, my goal is to help formulate chemical solutions to environmental problems.

As an avid hiker and gardening enthusiast, sustainability is an integral part of my life both in and outside the classroom. I hope to use my technical skills to cultivate a greener and cleaner planet for everyone to live in.

I am also currently seeking a Chemical Engineering summer internship, so please feel free to reach out if you're interested in connecting!

I currently work as the Sustainability Programs Coordinator for University of Rochester Facilities Team Green where I've research, managed, and reported data for campus sustainability programs such as Nike Reuse a Shoe, Waste Management Plastic Bag Program, and GameDay Football Challenge resulting in an 86.8% diversion rate of 227.5 pounds recycled. I also TA for Intro to Environmental Science where I conduct weekly recitations about fundamental environmental concepts for ~35 students as well as grade exams and assignments for ~103 students.

I am currently a sophomore majoring in Chemical Engineering at the University of Rochester and minoring in Environmental Engineering with an emphasis in Sustainability. My relevant coursework includes: Chemical Process Analysis, Sustainable Energy, Mechanics, Numerical Methods & Statistics, and Fluid Dynamics.
