My Study Abroad Experience @ DTU

Studying abroad at DTU in Denmark has been an incredible experience that has not only shaped my understanding of the world but has also taught me valuable lessons about myself. Initially, my decision to study at DTU was rather spontaneous. Originally, I had planned to go to Italy, but prior to that, I had dreamt and really wanted Germany. Therefore, when the opportunity to study in Denmark unexpectedly presented itself, I made the decision at the last minute.

​

DTU offered an enriching academic experience that differed from the traditional semester at NYU. Although it was a unique experience, it enabled me to acquire valuable skills...

NASA L'Space Program

It is a NASA initiative where we partake in a academy where students can expect to learn NASA mission procedures and protocols from industry professionals as we collaborate with fellow team members to complete mission-related team projects. Students that partook and completed this mission academy had to complete badges and completed an assignment regarding a lunar rover being sent to the moon on behalf of the Artemis Program. In this case the MDR (the Final Paper) is reviewed by NASA engineers and graded on viability, design, validity, outreach and service.

Mentor For Undergrad Students 

For the last couple of years I have been helping a good amount of students within groups such as: GLASS, HEOP, My Brother Keepers, NACME, SHPE, or just other people in different Universities with career guidance and giving talks as either Italo Peralta mostly or on behalf of GLASS. I have helped and guided many students with Resume Checks and Interview Planning and Searches, and was able in 2023 to have 90% Interview Turnout rate when I took upon myself to coach 10 students during SHPE 2023. A lot of this was done to prove theories...

GLASS Recruiter

Professionally, it has honed my interpersonal and communication skills, as building relationships with both fellow recruiters and potential student is at the core of the role. Academically, the experience has provided a practical insight into organizational habits, and balancing. On a personal level, the responsibility of matching ...

NYU Buenos Aires

My trip to Buenos Aires was an eye-opening experience, for context the country is going through a presidential/government change and in addition to that it is going through economic turmoil. Personally I was able to see the privilege I hold as a US Citizen and for much of the politcal debates that go on in the US, our problems are very much first-world.

UMASS Lowell Undergraduate Researcher

This was the first time I was able to be comfortable in just pursuing anything. The email that was sent out to the seniors was not meant for me but I didnt care. I knew deep in my heart I wanted to work on this project and I made sure that none of my fear (for rejection) was going to be in my way. I made sure If I got reected it was because of something that was beyond me, I was not giving up. For the first time I grew as a person and this experience showed me a lot before I even started my first day. Additionally, it did not stop there, I had to work harder than my fellow peers who were already graduates to catch-up and understand all the vocabulary that was being said in the meetings and a lot of reading was done during this summer and a lot of sleep-less nights were made.

SHPE 2022 was the best performance I had in Professional Development

SHPE 2022 Convention

I walked out of that conference with the most offers from top engineering firms, companies and organizations. However, despite all these job offers the most important thing I was able to learn from this conference is how IMPORTANT it is to be outgoing and what companies really look for. I was able to capitalize my strengths such as my ability to analyze people and situations so well that as soon as my plane touched the floor I was able to notice that the people coming out of the airplane with were most likely recruiters and that is how I was able to secure interviews and internships on my official day at North Carolina. On my first day at the conference however required different skill sets that I was able to adapt to fairly quickly.
