What inspired you to become a ClarkLEADER?
I wanted to help freshman get acclimated to college life while making sure that they make a positive difference at UMD.

What is one piece of advice you would like to share with new Maryland Engineering students? 
I would advise students to become friends with older students in their major! They give the best advice and can help with internships.

What are some organizations or extracurricular activities you are involved with on campus?  
I'm part of Concrete Canoe, Intramural Sports, and the Catholic Student Center (CSC).

What is a cool engineering experience you've had? 
A cool experience I've had is getting to test out different ratios of cement, ad mixture, and fibers to figure out which was the best type of concrete to make our canoe this year.
