Organization that encourages student diversity in the engineering profession for under-represented students LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE Boy Scout of America, Naperville, IL ca. 2007 – March 2013 Troop Guide, Assistant Senior Patrol Leader, Patrol Leader, Order of the Arrow Member Eagle Scout Project Developed, implemented, and completed a full-scale project to benefit a retirement home. Many residents had handicap issues which hindered their participation in group activities. I assessed the problems, spoke with the residents and built table high stands and support easels that the staff could utilize during projects with the seniors. These easels and stands assisted seniors who were otherwise excluded due to their physical limitations.
