Japanese
My minor in Asian Studies pertains to Japan and Japanese. I have taken 3 semesters of Japanese as well as multiple cultural and history classes relating to Japan. One goal of mine is to combine this interest and desire to continue learning Japanese and about Japanese culture with my future career. Whether this be the bridge between Japanese and English speakers in an engineering career or somewhere else, I can leverage this knowledge.

Esports
During my sophomore year at Lafayette College I co-founded Lafayette College Esports where I have been the president ever since. In this position, I organize the competitive teams that make up the club, hold events for the club members and members of the Lafayette community, and lead the team of students who help run the club. Within the club, I am also the captain of the Overwatch team. In order to lead the team to success I hold try-outs to determine team compositions, organize tournaments to participate in, and lead practices and review sessions.

Music
I have written music compositions as well as participated in a rock band we called TANK. Below is a link to our Soundcloud of some recorded songs. I mainly play the guitar and sing.
