Summary
I am a motivated first-year student at CWRU with a strong enthusiasm for innovation and hands-on making. Since my first semester, I have spent significant time at Sears think[box], where I participated in the Lightbox event and whegs making(ENGR 130), completed multiple equipment trainings, and used 3D printer to make components such as an instrument-part organizer (pipa, an instrument, nails collector). Being in the think[box] environment has greatly inspired me, and I am eager to contribute to this creative community as a student worker. I hope to bring my curiosity, responsibility, and growing technical skills to support both the space and its users.
