      I spent the summer under mHUB's ‘Catalyze’ initiative- a 5-year effort to foster access for minority led hard-tech startups. My responsibilities included community engagement, identifying human capital resources, and financial capital resources for existing cohorts. My independent research project for this fellowship identified the factors which contribute to resilience in startup founders and to make recommendations for Catalyze to harness these qualities.

      I had the opportunity to participate in an exclusive week-long program that delved into the intricate intersections of politics, economics, and engineering within the realm of energy and climate issues.The experience brought together a dynamic cohort of over 25 peers. Throughout the week, we were fortunate to engage with distinguished professors from the University of Chicago, Northwestern University, and UIC. We also visited the Argonne National Laboratory, where we witnessed groundbreaking research and innovation firsthand. Our journey ended with a team presentation where our groups used the insight we had gained over the week to propose an urban garden solution for the Puerto Rican Agenda. Show less
