What motivated you to become a ClarkLEADER?
Creating a better sense of community for the new and transfer students going through an arduous program. I also serve as the VP of TerpVets, the student veteran organization, so this is another way that I can continue to assist and advocate for my veteran or engineering peers on campus.

What are some organizations or extracurricular activities you think new students should know about?
Wags for Wellness! You can go to the Health Center every month to spend time with a trained therapy dog to relieve some engineering-related stress.

What is one piece of advice you would like to share with new Maryland Engineering students?
Find someone your first week of class to exchange contact information with! It will be helpful if you get stuck on homework or while studying, and to catch potential missed information from lectures.
