What inspired you to become a ClarkLEADER?
I would like to have a chance to help new engineering students get acclimated to the Clark School and UMD as a whole. Being a ClarkLEADER would help develop my social and leadership skills.

If you attended ClarkLEAD as a first-year student, what did you enjoy most about the event?
I enjoyed meeting other engineering students. Listening to other's experiences with the inclusivity of engineering at UMD was impactful to me.

What is one piece of advice you would like to share with new Maryland Engineering students? 
A piece of advice for new Maryland Engineering students is to never be afraid to ask for help when you need it.

What are some organizations or extracurricular activities you are involved with on campus?  
I'm part of the UMD Skateboarding Club!

What is a cool engineering experience you've had? 
A cool engineering experience I've had is testing out the Over-Sand Vehicle (OSV) my ENES100 team designed.
