USC chapter member supporting international community engineering projects on sustainable water, sanitation, and infrastructure.

Member of the USC chapter of Engineers Without Borders (EWB-USA), supporting international community engineering projects focused on sustainable water, sanitation, and infrastructure solutions.

On the GCSP portfolio this sits under Multicultural / Global: MESA covers campus research pathways; EWB asks how water and sanitation systems land when the community that lives with them did not draw the CAD model.

What I worked on during Present. Hover underlined terms for quick definitions.

Chapter · Community engineering

EWB-USAEngineers Without Borders USA: student and professional chapters that partner with communities on sustainable infrastructure USC chapter work focuses on water, sanitation, and related infrastructure with international community partners.

The constraint that matters is not whether a design looks complete on campus: it is whether the community that will operate and maintain it can trust and keep it running. That is the same operator-viability test I learned shipping KumonScanDesk and QR attendance product for Kumon centers, applied off campus.

GCSP · Multicultural handoff

On the GCSP portfolio/gcsp designation essays, Multicultural / Global pairs USC MESAMathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement mentoring with EWB: institutional pathways at home, community infrastructure abroad.

Next step for me is staying active in chapter work while treating partner constraints as design requirements, not after-the-fact outreach.
