About Me:

In my 4 years at RPI, I’ve been privileged to work with various clubs. From my freshman to junior year, I served on the executive board of the Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers, working from Freshman Representative to President. There I worked to create a safe space socially, professionally, and culturally for students of all backgrounds, and help them find opportunities to flourish. I also do hip-hop dance in my free time as a part of RPI’s largest dance club, Eighth Wonder, serving as the treasurer during my junior year.

My most meaningful work is as a part of the RPI Engineering Ambassadors, where I get to work with K-12 students and inspire them to find their passions and pursue them through lessons and hands-on activities. I also mentor a high school robotics team, FRC Team 3044, where I get to impart the passion and knowledge I’ve gained through my degree in order to motivate students to compete in a worldwide STEM tournament.
