Sarena Samuels Email & Phone Number

Hello! I am Sarena Samuels, a second year Mechanical Engineering Student at the University of Florida. My combined interests in healthcare and engineering have motivated my goal of working in the field of biomedical engineering. In pursuing a career in biotechnology, I have the goal of working on medical assistive devices and prosthetics. Currently pursuing my degree, I look forward to utilizing my technical skills, problem solving ability, and creativity in the field of engineering. Leadership and communication are skills that are important to me. They are skills that I have developed through my various roles. I have worked as a Math Literacy Worker with the Young People’s Project which focused on tutoring middle school students with the goal of improving their Algebra proficiency. In this role I tutored middle schoolers through interactive methods such as math-based games. I also honed my communication skills as a Student Engagement Ambassador at the University of Florida which involved communicating with past alumni. My active roles in student organizations such as the National Society of Black Engineers have also allowed me to develop skills of teamwork, problem solving, and leadership.
