About Me

My name is Petek Sener and I was born in Turkey. I have lived in Istanbul my entire life. I am a first year student in Pratt. I am a female, just to let you know if you could not figure that out from my name.

Pronounciation Of Name

It is hard to explain how my name is pronounced but I wil give it my best shot. It is very similar to Pea-tec.

Interests

I love fencing! Unfortunately I had to take a break in my senior year of high school because it was getting harder to keep up with all the college applications. Another interest of mine is LOTR; I like both the books and the movies.

Grand Challenges For Engineering

When I was looking at the topics the one that intrgued me the most was 'reverse-engineering the brain'.
