“I am in my Junior year at the University of New Orleans (UNO). In my current semester, I am taking 19 credit hours, doing research on High Entropy Alloys under the mentorship of Dr. Paul Schilling, Chair of Mechanical Department at UNO, and leading two on-campus organizations as the President. Recently, I accepted an internship offer at Intralox L.L.C. for the summer of 2019. In my second semester at UNO, I had won the Privateer Undergraduate Research and Scholarly UNO Experience (P.U.R.S.U.E.)award through which I had the opportunity to do research under the mentorship of Dr. Ting Wang, director of the Energy Conversion and Conservation Center at New Orleans. During the same time, I also represented College of Engineering as a Senator at the UNO Student Government. In my third semester, I was heavily involved in Robotics Club and our team won at the 2018 IEEE Region 5 Robotics Competition. I was also selected in my sophomore year to be the Student Ambassador of UNO. All of this has been possible with the full-ride scholarship that I received from UNO and am extremely thankful to Edwise Foundation for guiding me through the application process.”
