SI Mentors serve within an elevated leadership role for the SI Program at Iowa State University.These student leaders are expected to be role models for their peers and are held to a highstandard of excellence within their role, while serving as a SI leader themselves. SI Mentors assist with the support, development and supervision of current SI Leaders. Thisincludes frequent observations of SI sessions, creation and facilitation of orientations andtraining, and supporting a 'mentee' group of SI Leaders throughout the semester.

As one of the three drum majors, I lead the band from the ladder through daily rehearsals, performances, and gamedays. I am responsible for setting up volunteering gigs for the band throughout the season and lead the band through tunes at any function. As I am a well known face, I must represent the band on and off of the field, exemplifying the highest standards as an Iowa State student and dignitary.

The trumpet section consists of 55 students of all grades and majors at Iowa State. As captain, my duties included: ensuring the section's memorization of new music for each new game, leading music rehearsals, and assuming responsibility for the musical and marching performance of the section during football games. While all of these duties are important, most of my time was devoted to managing the students and lower levels of student-leadership within the trumpet section. By delegating smaller tasks to the other members of leadership in the section, I have in in-depth experience preparing, organizing, and motivating a large group of people to efficiently achieve short and long term goals.

The Department of Energy Collegiate Wind Competition is a competition between teams from universities across the US to design, build, and compete micro-scale wind turbines. Our team at Iowa State is made of 15 engineering students from all disciplines of engineering. As a member of the Wind Competition Team I have worked on the construction and verification of the team's low-speed wind tunnel as well as testing of the wind turbine in the wind tunnel. I have also worked on the design of the blades using BEM Analysis and XLFR5.

Iowa State supplemental instruction is a resource that is voluntary and free to every student at ISU. It is offered by the Academic Success Center, and involves three one-hour review sessions each week of material covered in lecture. This spring I am leading a section of Calculus I for a class of 142 students. Students who come to sessions each week are from all backgrounds and skill levels of calculus; every day I am required to exercise facilitation strategies to actively involve every student that enters my class. I exercise the ability to communicate with a diverse crowd of peers concisely and effectively while at the same time helping students learn the material and receive higher grades in their classes.

CySat is part of the Make to Innovate program in the Aerospace Engineering department at Iowa State University. As a member of the project, I have worked on two sub-teams: the power team and payload team. On the power team, I have helped develop the power budget using STK to collect orbital analysis data and MATLAB to process that data. On the payload team, I have helped fabricate the shortened annular-patch antenna.

As a tutor, my responsibilities included scheduling times and locations of regular tutoring sessions for several groups of students. Each session, I was responsible for preparing quality review material and covering any questions my tutees had regarding course content. At the end of the semester, I received high marks on my tutor evaluation, including full marks in the categories of "Organization", "Patient Attitude", and "Knowledge of Material".
