What inspired you to become a ClarkLEADER?
I helped facilitate the event last year and think it's beneficial to help new students integrate into the Clark School of Engineering.

What is one piece of advice you would like to share with new Maryland Engineering students? 
Try to do as much as you can, go to different club meetings, and utilize opportunities at the Clark School to find what you're passionate about.

What are some organizations or extracurricular activities you are involved with on campus?  
Project lead at Tikkun Olam Makers, Member of the Avionics sub-team of SATFAB/SEDS, Member of Terps Racing Baja team, intramural soccer, and intramural volleyball.

What is a cool engineering experience you've had? 
For our over-sand vehicle (OSV) in my ENES100 class, the Arduino got fried the day before our competition and resulted in one of our motors not working. Instead of panicking, I just took the wheel off entirely and it worked for the most part. It was cool that our semesters worth of work was successful and my last minute improvisation actually worked.
