Introducing Maddy Zhang (EngSci Aero 2T0, Current MSc. in Aerospace Engineering @TU Delft)

Many of you may have heard of our next guest from this UToronto News Headline: Meet U of T’s youngest student: she's setting her sights on the stars

and now, as a graduate: At age 18, U of T's youngest grad has accomplished more than most – and she's just getting started

Maddy Zhang is an Engineering Science Aerospace 2020 Graduate at the University of Toronto. Maddy is currently a master’s student at the Delft University of Technology (or TUDelft) studying and researching on a full scholarship in the Netherlands.

While at U of T, she was the Chief Engineer of the University of Toronto Aerospace Team (or UTAT), and pursued her passion for leadership through the completion of a Certificate in Engineering Leadership with Troost ILead.

She did all this before turning 19. We sat down with her (figuratively) to ask about the story behind these successes.
