What inspired you to become a ClarkLEADER?
I attended it last year and wanted to welcome the new Maryland engineers as a leader for them in the future. I want to help them gain confidence because engineering is a great major for you to get involved in.

If you attended ClarkLEAD as a first-year student, what did you enjoy most about the event?
I enjoyed meeting new people, insightful workshops, engaging discussions, or any other aspect of the program that resonated with me. It had many opportunities that I am interested in joining and would love to get into.

What is one piece of advice you would like to share with new Maryland Engineering students? 
Get involved in research early!

What are some organizations or extracurricular activities you are involved with on campus?  
Sigma Phi Delta Professional-Social Fraternity

What is a cool engineering experience you've had? 
I had the opportunity to intern at Georgia Tech University as a Summer Undegraduate Research Experience (SURE) Program Intern, and I worked in a research lab where I worked with lasers and a shock tube.
