I am a senior undergraduate electrical engineering student at the University of Connecticut (UConn). Through my collegiate journey, I have become deeply immersed in the dynamic world of electronics, technology, and electrical and computer systems. My academic interests have been centered around exploring the fields of very large-scale integration (VLSI), field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), programmable logic circuits (PLCs), embedded systems, electronics, and microcontroller applications.

My fascination with engineering began in high school, where I was fortunate enough to be able to take three years of engineering courses. In these courses, the analytical and critical thinking skills I developed, coupled with year-end capstone projects, nurtured my love for engineering. When I was faced with the pivotal decision of choosing which specific engineering discipline I would study in college, my initial inclination was toward computer engineering. However, after much thought, I ended up deciding on electrical engineering as my major. I felt the field’s greater scope would allow me to grow and explore as I sorted out what I truly wanted to do in and beyond college.

My academics are complemented by several diverse leadership and research roles. I have proudly served as the College of Engineering Senator in the University of Connecticut’s Undergraduate Student Government from the Fall of 2022 until the Spring of 2024, where I advocated for and represented engineering students and the undergraduate student body at large.

Through my role as a Student Research Trainee at the Electrical Insulation Research Center of the Institute of Materials Science, I was fortunate enough to be able to learn about electrical engineering in both industrial and research contexts beyond my curricular and general education courses. This granted me the invaluable experience of learning directly from both professors and graduate students in ways that are not normally open to the majority of students at the University, such as Independent Design Laboratories and Undergraduate Research courses.

In addition to my academic and research pursuits, I wear multiple hats within several organizations, which further enriches my college experience. 

As the Secretary of the University of Connecticut’s Undergraduate Student Branch of the IEEE, I play a vital role in the organization's administrative functions. This involves managing communications, documenting crucial discussions, and ensuring the smooth flow of information among members. Being able to contribute to the IEEE community has been a rewarding experience, allowing me to actively participate in the organization's initiatives and foster a collaborative environment among my fellow electrical engineering enthusiasts.

Simultaneously, my extracurricular involvement extends beyond the realm of engineering. As the Treasurer of the UConn Hillel, I am able to contribute to the vibrant cultural and religious life on campus, organizing events, fostering a sense of community, and promoting inclusivity. 

As the Treasurer of UConn Roblox, I oversee the organization’s financial and strategic planning, including helping to provide an engaging platform for students to connect through their shared passion for gaming and the University of Connecticut. Which has resulted in an accessible virtual campus touring platform for prospective students, staff, and faculty.

Furthermore, serving as both Vice President and Treasurer of Huskies for Israel, I am deeply committed to promoting awareness and understanding of Israeli culture and fostering dialogue within the university community. This role allows me to combine my leadership and financial skills to ensure the success of the organization's initiatives and events.

Adding to this array of responsibilities, I serve as the Student Representative on the University of Connecticut’s University Senate Curricula and Courses Committee. In this capacity, I actively engage in discussions that influence the academic direction of our institution, bringing a student’s perspective to decisions regarding curricula and courses.

Lastly, I hold the esteemed position of Parliamentarian of the University Senate, where I serve as the Senate officer responsible for ensuring the governance and procedural aspects of our university's highest legislative body are conducted in accordance with the University’s By-laws. In this role, I weigh in on questions of parliamentary rules during Senate meetings, ensuring that the Moderator is able to conduct discussions efficiently and make decisions that align with established policies and protocols. This responsibility affords me the opportunity to play a crucial role in shaping the policies and direction of the university.

Beyond academia, I bring my energy and enthusiasm to the Camps and Events Staff at Chelsea Piers, where I actively contribute to crafting enriching experiences for participants. As a dedicated member of the team, I play a pivotal role in planning and coordinating a diverse range of activities, ensuring each event is meticulously organized and tailored to meet the unique needs of participants across various age groups. From facilitating birthday parties and camps to overseeing sports events, I take pride in fostering a positive and inclusive atmosphere that promotes teamwork, skill development, and community engagement. This dynamic role not only allows me to showcase my organizational and interpersonal skills but also reinforces my commitment to creating memorable moments that extend beyond the academic sphere. Connecting with individuals from diverse backgrounds, I find immense joy in contributing to the development of a vibrant and supportive community at Chelsea Piers, leaving a lasting impact on participants and enhancing the overall experience for everyone involved.

In essence, my collegiate journey has a harmonious blend of academics, leadership, and active involvement in a diverse array of extracurricular activities. I am driven by a passion for engineering, a commitment to bettering our community, and a relentless pursuit of knowledge. I strive to make a meaningful impact in the ever-evolving field of electrical engineering and beyond.
