What inspired you to become a ClarkLEADER?
I was inspired to become a ClarkLEADER because I want to help the next generation of Maryland Engineering Students. I want to be someone who people can look up to for guidance.

What is one piece of advice you would like to share with new Maryland Engineering students? 
Don't be afraid to try something new. If you never try, you'll never know.

What are some organizations or extracurricular activities you are involved with on campus?  
Terps Racing EV, Undergraduate Teaching Fellow (ENEE 150), Clark Ambassador, Gemstone Honors Program, IM Basketball

What is a cool engineering experience you've had? 
As the High Voltage Lead of Terps Racing EV, I had the opportunity to attend an EV workshop hosted by Tesla in Fremont, California. Terps Racing is part of an international competition where students design, build and test an F1-style car. SAE hosts that competition in North America. The workshop provided so much information on how to design the electrical systems for an EV. It was also an amazing networking event with Tesla and many students from the US, Canada, and Mexico.
