Shaped the future of the transportation community at USC by positioning our organization to be the hub of all projects, discussions, and transport-related initiatives at USC. Through coordinating a diverse team, we successfully scaled up our club to support multiple projects exploring various facets of transportation. Additionally, we also spearheaded regional-level initiatives, inviting students from all over the West Coast to participate in USC ITE events, which enabled us to win multiple awards recognizing our achievement in being an innovative and active student chapter. I successfully set up a transitional framework to continue the momentum of our student chapter and continue expanding our "Strategic Initatives" division.
