What inspired you to become a ClarkLEADER?
When I came to UMD, I was part of the Virtus Living and Learning Program which allowed me to connect with fellow freshmen students in engineering. Being a ClarkLEADER allows me to help provide a similar experience to the next generation of students.

What is one piece of advice you would like to share with new Maryland Engineering students? 
Take advantage of extracurricular activities such as clubs or organizations. These activities can give experience that can be useful in future careers such as leadership skills or practical engineering experience as well as being a good place to make new friends and connections.

What are some organizations or extracurricular activities you are involved with on campus?  
I participated in the Virtus Living and Learning Program for two years.

What is a cool engineering experience you've had? 
A cool engineering experience I had was ENES100 and the OTV project. Building a vehicle and coding it using arduino code was a fun experience that gave me some coding experience that I could use in the future.
