Purdue involvement
I love staying active on campus! Here are some of my Purdue activities ^-^
Undergraduate Student Board
Role: Panels & Social Wellness Lead
Description: The Computer Science Undergraduate Board is dedicated to improving the student experience for CS/DS/AI students at Purdue - whether by managing CS193, hosting forums for student advocacy, or maintaining a database of undergrad-tailored resources, USB is continually creating initiatives that will uphold our values.
Favorite part: Being able to host events that students love! As the lead of 2 initiatives, I've had the privilege of being able to host events such as Love in Lawson and Career Panels. I've also been able to meet the MOST amazing, kind, and hardworking people :)

Kappa Theta Pi Purdue
Role: Vice President of Marketing
Description: Kappa Theta Pi is the nation's first professional technology fraternity, founded at the University of Michigan in 2012. Our Alpha Kappa Chapter at Purdue brings together students passionate about technology to build careers, skills, and lifelong friendships.
Favorite part: As a founding member, it was incredible to see the interest and community that we have been able to build in such a short amount of time! Each one of our brothers is an incredible person, and I'm always impressed with their professional development through KTP Purdue.

Purdue Stack
Role: Full Stack Software Engineer
Description: Purdue Stack bridges the gap between classroom theory and production-scale reality, crafting full-stack software and premium user experiences. Through this club, students are able to work on real client projects.
Favorite part: The hours we spent working in the lab! I was lucky to be able to work for Continuity Pharma, building a web interface for their pharmaceutical manufacturing data visualization platform. I loved bonding with my team; they made the long stretches of coding feel short!
