The most rewarding part of serving as treasurer has been seeing the smiles on people’s faces when my work helps them in the organization.
Can you describe Tau Beta Pi’s crowdfunding project?
Our crowdfund project is to help bring attention to the organization and to help raise money for our make-a-thon event, which is open to all engineering students at UNC Charlotte. Event participants will get a materials kit, which they will use to compete in building a land vehicle. They will be scored on speed, weight, total materials used and other metrics. The make-a-thon event is a great opportunity for Tau Beta Pi to further build the community around engineers on campus while bringing awareness to different engineering principles.
What other clubs or activities are you involved in at UNC Charlotte?
In addition to Tau Beta Pi, I am president of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers student branch and the IEEE Eta Kappa Nu HKN groups at UNC Charlotte. I am also a seven-time Chancellor’s List recipient.
