My Skillset
Collaboration
One of the greatest skills I have learned and developed is that of collaboration: the ability to work with peers. Over the course of my professional experiences, high school projects, and the Pennsylvania Governor School of the Sciences, I have grown in my ability to work with others, be that in a professional or academic setting.
Computer Programming
In addition to having taken numerous computer science courses offered at McDowell, I have programmed independent projects to expand my knowledge of programming! I am also assisting the FIRST Robotics team with programming and founded the McDowell Computer Science Club.
Leadership
With leadership roles in many of my clubs and extracurriculars, I strive to make the most of my passions. With goals in sight, I strive to motivate my team and club members to reach success! By establishing a team environment and collaboration, productivity and creativity are enhanced!
