My Extracurricular Activities

School Affiliated

Princeton University Annual Giving	7/2017 - now

I work among a team of fellow alumni to help raise money for the Annual Giving fund, which focuses on sponsoring undergraduate research and campus-wide social activities that bring the Princeton undergraduate community together.

Princeton University Virtual Interviewer	11/2017 - now

I'm a virtual interviewer for Princeton focusing on the Middle East & North Africa. I found my interview to be the most intimidating part of my application, primarily because I felt like I failed to connect to my interviewer; as such, I hope to serve as a more familiar face to students for whom the application process is already daunting.

Princeton University Food Chair, Terrace F. Club	12/2019 - 12/2020

As Food Chair of my Eating club, I managed a ~$1M annual budget in conjunction with the Head Chef and Club Manager. My responsibilities included acting as a liaison to the student body to account for allergies and preferences, as well as significant advanced planning for 3 annual formal events, where food was tied to an event theme to create an overall experiential narrative. As a working team, we also researched, met with, and developed relationships with suppliers to continue to fit within budget constraints while satisfying the wants of club members. Prior to being Food Chair, I worked weekly shifts in the kitchen helping chefs serve 250+ students.

Princeton University Editor-in-Chief, Stripe Magazine	12/2016 - 12/2017

As Editor-in-Chief of Stripe Magazine, Princeton's online fashion magazine, I led a team of writers, photographers, and stylists, producing weekly content on the goings-on in the fashion industry and major trends, quarterly photoshoots that involved partnering with businesses in town to provide clothing and serve as an advertising opportunity, and coordinated on-campus events such as a talk with Vanessa Friedman, the head of New York Times Style, who is also an alum

CityTaps Mechanical Engineering Intern	6/2016 - 8/2016
