If you attended ClarkLEAD as a first-year student, what did you enjoy most about the event?
I enjoyed the friends I met as a result of this onboarding experience. It was also a great opportunity to explore engineering-related clubs on campus, and is actually how I found my minor!

What is one piece of advice you would like to share with new Maryland Engineering students? 
Don’t hesitate to take advantage of the great programs offered by the Clark School that facilitate your academic success!

What are some organizations or extracurricular activities you are involved with on campus?  
I am a part of  iGEM & Women in Engineering (WIE).

What is a cool engineering experience you've had? 
A cool engineering experience I've had is spending my freshman summer doing research as a part of UMD’s iGEM team.
