What inspired you to become a ClarkLEADER?
I chose to become a ClarkLEADER because it is a good opportunity for me to network with people. I also like mentoring, and it was a good opportunity to welcome new students into the school and the university.

What is one piece of advice you would like to share with new Maryland Engineering students? 
One piece of advice I would share with new Maryland Engineering students is to start early. Start early in the semester, start early to get involved, and create a schedule that allows you to get your work done early to prevent procrastination and limit stress.

What are some organizations or extracurricular activities you are involved with on campus?  
I am a member of the Phi Theta Tau honor society. I also play intramural soccer on campus.

What is a cool engineering experience you've had? 
For my Object-Oriented Programming II (CMSC132) class project, our professor asked us to work in groups where we had to create a design. The incentive was that the group with the best design would be taken out for a team lunch! Although my group didn't win, it was a fun experience giving everything we had for that opportunity.
