I work passionately in SolarPack because we are a high-ambition team and I believe we can be a high-achieving team. Being responsible for leadership in this space has made me grow so much beyond what I could learn in class. Helping see through an automotive project as innovative and forward-thinking as SolarPack is a blessing.NCSSM gave me a lot in tools for the future. Even more so than the knowledge from advanced courses, it showed me what I was capable of and how to turn potential to production. At NC State, I have been given great opportunities both outside and inside the classroom. I have taken away valuable lessons and knowledge from many courses. Wolfpack Motorsports showed me how to function low on the totem pole, while still contributing to the overall project. My initial interests in engineering and the automotive industry have been refined and strengthened.I feel that I have improved at every step of the way by taking something valuable from every experience. I believe my interpersonal and management skills have most recently come to fruition, mostly through SolarPack. My technical skills have always been a strength, but now I am a much more well-rounded person.
