Major: Electrical Engineering

What motivated you to become a ClarkLEADER?
It sounded like a fun thing to do, I enjoyed attending the event when I was accepted into engineering.

What are some organizations or extracurricular activities you think new students should know about?
Go to the First Look Fair! I joined Terps Racing EV my sophomore year and haven't looked back; this year I am heading the Low Voltage side of the car which lets me work on all the Printed Circuit Board designs.

What is one piece of advice you would like to share with new Maryland Engineering students?
A lot of students slack at the beginning of the semester and do poorly on the first round of exams, studying hard for those will put you in a good position and alleviate stress during finals.
