This past fall semester at Clemson has been one of the most challenging, but rewarding semesters yet. I have now finished the intro level courses for Mechanical Engineering and begun the more advanced and specialized courses. I very much enjoyed the classes I took this fall. One of the most notable classes was my Introduction into Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics course. I really enjoyed this material and I look forward to the next few semesters where I will take a class focused on both of these topics. Outside of academics, I work through Clemson’s Academic Success Center as a calculus tutor. This past semester I began my new role as a tutor mentor. Through this role, I facilitate monthly meetings with the other tutors, conduct session debriefs, and act as a link between the tutors and staff. I have really enjoyed this new role and I look forward to next semester! I was also recently hired as a cycle instructor on campus and next semester I will begin teaching two 45-minute spin classes a week. I have been training with a mentor this semester and I cannot wait to be teaching my own classes next semester! I have also joined a Creative Inquiry called Design Build Fly. In this CI, we construct a plane from scratch that meets all of the requirements. I have been a part of the Structures and Manufacturing teams, where I have worked on the overall design and actual construction of the plane. In April, our team will go to Arizona where the flight competition will take place. It has been a busy, but very fun semester! Overall, I would like to thank MVYouth for the incredible opportunities I have been given. I am forever grateful!
