I entered Rutgers in both the School of Engineering and as a member of the Honors Academy of Engineering. Through this program I found a group of like-minded people with whom I created a community through some of our most difficult changes. I also looked for a community outside of my programs and in the larger engineering community. Through student-led organizations like SWE (Society of Women Engineers) and RIEEE (Rutgers Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), I got the opportunity to meet amazing upperclassmen that I could rely on for help and support. That year, I also became the Social Media Manager of RIEEE and worked to organize events as a part of the PR Committee, an experience that would prepare me for the opportunities to come.

I was involved in Douglass Residential College (DRC), the Society of Women Engineers (SWE), and Rutgers Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) as part of the Robotics division. As a freshman, everything was new and inspiring! I got to learn so much from my mentors. They helped me academically and professionally. Because of mentors, I had freshman year, I became a MATLAB Learning Assistant, I became the Professional Relations chair of IEEE, and I presented at my first research symposium as a part of Project SUPER! I also managed IEEE’s inaugural Social Good Hackathon! The marriage of my two passions, helping people and tech, culminated in working with various nonprofit organizations such as the Raritan Valley EMS, the Rutgers Learning Centers, and more! It was awesome to have a large community event, especially since we were able to invite alumni because we were all online.

Being part of Rutgers IEEE has helped me grow by giving me opportunities to introduce engineering to younger students. I’ve been part of Young Engineers Day where we taught digital logic design basics to high school students as well as Prospective Student Tours, where I got to speak to prospective students about personal projects I’ve worked on and my experience in engineering. These experiences also helped me in my work as a Learning Assistant for the introductory MATLAB course at Rutgers, where I thought students problem-solving techniques and help them better understand the material.

I joined Rutgers IEEE in my freshman year when I attended Python classes taught by other students through the N2E division (Novice 2 Expert Coding). In my sophomore year, I joined the Rutgers IEEE VEX Robotics team. These experiences really helped me develop my interpersonal skills by working with my peers in a more hands-on environment than my classes.
