What motivated you to become a ClarkLEADER?
When I was a freshman, I absolutely loved chatting with older students and learning about UMD. I look forward to finally being that older student and getting to know the new freshman class!

What are some organizations or extracurricular activities you think new students should know about?
The Keystone program is an absolute LIFESAVER, go to their tutoring and thank me later.

If you attended ClarkLEAD as a first-year student, what did you enjoy most about the event?
I enjoyed getting to know the other freshman and older engineering students!

What is one piece of advice you would like to share with new Maryland Engineering students?
Don't be afraid to ask for help! Engineering is a team sport.
