As the Student Campus Minister, I led and engaged a significant percentage of the university population in their Catholic Faith, while creating a welcoming environment to any and all Hokies, at the Newman Community.Additionally, I worked in tandem with the Newman Community Staff, as well as the Assistant Student Campus Minister, in order to best keep a compatible and well working leadership foundation.I collaborated with university officials to establish, and then later assist and guide, ecumenical events and services campus-wide.

I was a participant in the 2015 Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU): Summer Engineering Research Experience in Transportation Electrification at the University of Maryland.My research thrust involved the modeling and simulation of Three-Phase Single-Stage Buck-Boost AC/DC Converters with Power Factor Correction for More Electric Aircraft; specifically the Boeing 787.I was fortunate to conduct research under the guidance of Professor Alireza Khaligh. (khaligh@ece.umd.edu). Dr. Khaligh, is an Assistant Professor and Director of the Power Electronics, Energy Harvesting and Renewable Energies Laboratory (PEHREL), University of Maryland-College Park.
