About me
It's my first year at UW, and I intend to major in Chemical Engineering, and I currently live in Stephen's Court. I'm really passionate about sustainable development. This year I found out about Engineers Without Borders, and immediately joined.

Here is a group of almost all graduate students, and I came into their small close-nit meetings not knowing anything. But I've developed some great relationships with these amazing individuals. We're working right now to raise $80,000 by fall quarter for a huge road system implementation project in Yanayo, Bolivia.

To link communities, I am all about developing personal relationships. So it's critical that as community relations director, I put all my time and energy into this position. These personal relationships won't happen on their own.

I am all about personal relationships. This position is a link between all the diverse communities on campus, and by far the best links are personal.

But this position also requires practical plans. There are 40,000 students on this campus, and fostering community between all of them is not a trivial task.

We've already been talking with administrators and student leaders to develop solid plans that scale to this massive extent.
