I chose to explore graduated from James Madison University in 2019 with a degree in mechanical engineering because where I was always passionate about focused my studies in the environment sustainability and renewable energy spaces.

I am passionate about helping students find their voice and learn to communicate in effective ways to make real, lasting change on their campuses and in their future careers. When I was a fellow, my team and I started a workshop series where we had professional development classes for students seeking internships and job opportunities. These classes covered topics that seemed simple but addressed some of the most difficult parts of the interviewing process, resume creation, and language building that sometimes gets overlooked while attending university. I learned how to listen to my peers and iterate to ensure that our workshops were addressing their needs and creating value. The skills I learned through my experience as a fellow has allowed me to feel confident speaking up in my workplace and help to promote others to similar positions. I have learned how important it is to communicate clearly and work with your peers to create innovation that matters.
