Summary

I am a first year Engineering student (will be a sophomore in the 2024 Fall term) currently residing in Linden House. Although I do not have formal work experience, I do however have a lot of volunteering experience that has developed essential skills that are useful for this job. My roles as President of Student government and a leader at my high school residence have also enhanced my skills and experience. I am a confident, enthusiastic and outgoing individual with the ability to initiate projects and ensure that they are successful.
