Mentorship and Community Engagement
At MIT, I served as an alpine race coach, working with student-athletes to develop technical skiing skills, race strategy, and on-snow discipline in a competitive environment. The role involved planning and leading structured training sessions and providing targeted technical feedback.
Within the MIT AeroAstro Department, I served as an Ambassador, representing the program and acting as a point of contact for admitted graduate students. I also served as Social Chair for the Graduate AeroAstro Association, where I planned and ran social events aimed at strengthening community among AeroAstro graduate students.
At Georgia Tech, I served as the head teaching assistant for Deformable Bodies across three semesters. In this role, I held office hours, graded coursework, and supported over 60 students per semester, helping translate complex theoretical concepts into clear, accessible explanations while maintaining academic rigor.
Additionally, I worked as a one-on-one tutor through the Center for Academic Success, providing individualized academic support to students from all majors. My tutoring spanned introductory courses as well as upper-level mechanical and aerospace engineering subjects, including thermodynamics, jet propulsion, and fluid mechanics.
I was also selected as a College of Engineering Champion, representing the College to prospective students, families, faculty, and staff as part of a small group of student ambassadors from diverse backgrounds and disciplines. Through this role, I participated in outreach and volunteered in aftercare programs, supporting young students’ learning and creativity through simplified, hands-on engineering challenges.
