What inspired you to become a ClarkLEADER?
I was inspired to become a ClarkLEADER because I wanted to provide a warm welcome to freshmen in engineering and offer them the same support and guidance that I received when I was in their shoes.

If you attended ClarkLEAD as a first-year student, what did you enjoy most about the event?
I enjoyed meeting fellow engineering students and discovering a supportive community of like-minded peers here at the Clark School.

What is one piece of advice you would like to share with new Maryland Engineering students? 
Continue to nurture your interests and explore new ones, especially if they are not related to engineering!

What are some organizations or extracurricular activities you are involved with on campus?  
I am a part of Quest Honors, Clark School Ambassadors, ECE Undergraduate Teaching Fellow, Undergraduate Research, and the Eritrean-Ethiopian Students Association (EESA).

What is a cool engineering experience you've had? 
A cool project I got to work on is a machine learning model that tackles the challenge of predicting human movement in crowded spaces by using a neural network to control the movement of a virtual robot in a Pygame simulation.
