I’m a co-founder of a research organization, was on an executive board for a diversity club, team lead for a research project, and team lead for a project team. Also, do music on the side and outreach for females in engineering for college and high school students.

Work Experience
Student-teacher for a high-level numerical methods course, Completed 4 internships in software, controls, and mechanical design at reputable companies.

Cost Constraints / Budget
I really don’t want to pay for graduate school unless I have to

Research Interest
Autonomous Systems and Controls, Data Science, Swarm robotics, connected vehicles, etc.

Schools

I have no idea what schools would be interested in me, but I have the basic dreams of state schools like University of Michigan, University of Washington, and then IVY’s if they’d take me. I’d rather just find a school that’s a good fit for me. Any school that puts an emphasis on inclusion and diversity (and preferably in a diverse area would be great).
