Student Life.
As a Mechanical Engineering student with minors in the humanities, I engaged in experiential learning activities to enhance my skills for future career aspirations. My first internship at the Perry Library Archives introduced me to historic preservation and technical research.
Additionally, as a McNair scholar, I participated in research opportunities, presenting at conferences, and joining the Leaders Program to improve my leadership skills. I also got involved in organizations related to my major, such as the National Society of Black Engineers and the League of Historical Studies, allowing me to collaborate with like-minded individuals.
