What inspired you to become a ClarkLEADER?
I want to inspire the next generation of UMD to become leaders that are involved in their communities. I am passionate about the work we can do together as engineers. ClarkLEADER is the perfect opportunity to lead by example for and with my peers.

What is one piece of advice you would like to share with new Maryland Engineering students? 
Get involved! UMD offers so many different clubs, communities and spaces to try something new.

What are some organizations or extracurricular activities you are involved with on campus?  
I am a part of Gamma Phi Beta, College Park Scholars -- Science, Discovery and the University, ASCE, and Bee Club.

What is a cool engineering experience you've had? 
My sorority was putting away 100 fairy lights, so I created butterfly cutouts out of cardstock paper to keep the wires from tangling.
