What inspired you to become a ClarkLEADER?
Engineering is a great major where you see and connect with different groups and people on a daily basis. As a ClarkLEADER, I want to be someone who can help others understand the world, build connections, and cheer students on during their time at UMD.

What is one piece of advice you would like to share with new Maryland Engineering students? 
There will be periods of difficulty but also periods of celebration. All those experiences will make you stronger and the friendships you develop stronger.

What are some organizations or extracurricular activities you are involved with on campus?  
American society for Civil Engineers and Women in Engineering

What is a cool engineering experience you've had? 
ENES100 is a class every engineering student at UMD has to take. In this class, you and your group will create an Over-Terrain vehicle. During this process, you will experience all the steps of engineering while being exposed to different aspects of engineering. At the end of the semester, you will hopefully have a working vehicle that looks cool and completes its mission.
