Electrical and Computer Engineering Major Has Developed Math and Management Skills

After participating in the RAMP program, I began freshman year with a work-study at CACT. I have been involved in research on acoustic source localization. This research, as well as the guidance of Professor Chandra and Professor Thompson, have helped me in developing my math and management skills. These skills have been mirrored into my performance in classes, as now I am more comfortable with working with others in developing methods to solve problems and manage a group toward an end goal.
Other than the research, I am involved on campus. I am currently a member of a local sorority called Alpha Omega. I hold a position as fundraising chair. Essentially, I plan events and work with local business to earn money for the active chapter and meet our quota. The past two semesters have been evidence on how much I have grown as a leader through my communication with others and my networking circle. I am hopeful that the coming years will allow me to continue to learn and grow as a student, person and hopefully achieve my goal of becoming an academic.
