Volunteering

Outside of working on engineering projects, I’ve volunteered to try and make my community and the world a better place. In high school, I volunteered my engineering experience to design a tactile map and to help facilitate the manufacturing of eNable 3D printable prosthetics hands. As part of an Assistive Robotics class in college, I came up with an idea that would give the deaf community a way to enjoy music in a more haptic way. Most recently, I’ve fundraised $6,000 for Engineers in Action and traveled for two weeks in Eswatini to help build a suspension footbridge in the Luyengo community. I personally enjoy volunteerism, because it is the best way to improve people’s day-to-day lives while using the knowledge and skills you have today.
