Abrar Al Shafi

I am a final-year Mechanical Engineering student at Memorial University, entering my seventh term. I am keenly interested in not only the technical aspects of my field but also in connecting and socializing with people. My involvement in the student association highlights my commitment to community engagement and leadership within the university community. I thrive in environments that require interpersonal communication and technical skills, making the most of every opportunity to contribute to projects and initiatives that enhance student life and learning.
