What motivated you to become a ClarkLEADER?
I wanted to become a ClarkLEADER because incoming freshman face can become easily overwhelmed in the beginning of the year, and I would like to do my part to alleviate their anxiety, even if by just a little.

What are some organizations or extracurricular activities you think new students should know about?
You can never go wrong with the engineering-focused organizations on campus, but feel free to stretch out to any club that interests you. Walk into McKeldin Mall during the First Look Fair with an open mind.

If you attended ClarkLEAD as a first-year student, what did you enjoy most about the event?
When I was a newcomer to this school, I enjoyed hearing the speakers at ClarkLEAD who are in their respective fields changing the world. They inspired me to excel in my field and one day change the world with them.

What is one piece of advice you would like to share with new Maryland Engineering students?
The best piece of advice I can give is to get involved, especially for out-of-state students. You move away from your family, friends, and familiarity when you go to college, but getting involved in the various clubs, activities, and programs offered at this university helps you settle into your new life here.
