Non-Work Related Activities/Interests:
A.) Volunteer/Community Service:
Atlantic County Utilities Association, Egg Harbor, NJ
Student Volunteer
· Petitioned for the passing of an ordinance for small businesses to reduce plastic waste by providing customers with reusable shopping bags, containers, and bottles · Dedicated my weekends to Adopt-A-Road program by cleaning up miles and miles of local roads to promote recycling and reduce littering from the community
B.) Leadership Experience:
Questbridge, Galloway, NJ
College Preparation Mentor
· Coached first-generation, college students to carve strong admissions applications consisting of supplemental essay editing, mock interviews, standardized testing assistance, and scholarship resources · Liaison for non-profit organization dedicated to sending low income, high achieving students to the nation’s top universities (since I had prior experience being selected as a finalist for program)
Residence Hall Association, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ
Event Coordinator
· Accomplished goal of giving residents the ultimate on-campus dorming experience by motivating committee of 5+ members to digitally market and promote events by spreading flyers, building mailing list, and social media penetration · Strategy boosted campus life and student morale because resident turnout increased by 50% for entire academic year
C.) Extra-Curricular Projects:
AICHE Chemical Engineering Car Team, NJIT, Newark, NJ
Braking Mechanism – Pressure Clock
· Conducted research to develop a comparator circuit design that read voltage values from external DC power source · Soldered a relay switch onto propulsion circuit to cut power to chemical braking system if threshold pressure detected on Arduino sensor was exceeded
Colt M1911-A1 Handgun, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ
· Utilized SolidWorks to 3-D model barrel, hammer, grip, and screws of classic U.S government action pistol adapted from 2-D engineering drawings found online · Stress-tested the load of external gun chassis onto mainspring housing to understand effects of weight distribution on firing performance
