In 2023, I joined the Technical Assistive Devices sub-team and was voted as a team lead, where I worked with Virginia Tech's Training and Technical Assistance Center to create devices to help local elementary school special needs program. In this role, I led the development of an iPad keyguard device to help students with a combination of speech deficiency and motor control disabilities use text-to-speech apps to communicate with their teachers. This involved designing and manufacturing through 5 different prototypes. 

The device is currently being used in 3-5 elementary schools throughout Southwest Virginia, and I have since presented it at the Harvard National Collegiate Research Conference, and the National Conference on Undergraduate Research in Pittsburgh, where it won 1st place in the conference's "Engineering Research Competition" award against 600+ participants.

In 2024, I was elected as President, where I fully restructured the club's operations to better support its needs and exponentially increase its growth. I revamped the team lead interview process, reorganized the club's outreach system by introducing new outreach leadership positions and executive board meetings, and fostered connections with national and international clients, including the World Action Fund in Uganda and local medical school programs throughout Virginia to create devices for patient needs.

This in turn grew the club from having 3 sub-teams helping a few clients, to 6 active sub-teams helping over 800 total adults and children with medical disabilities. I supported 4 of these sub-teams towards their projects (including my 2023-24 keyguard team) getting accepted and presented across 2 national conferences. I also led the establishment of new club funding sources and developed a system for greater member and team lead recruitment to support the project growth, all of which resulted in our club growing from 50 to 135 members in one year and becoming one of the currently most prominent e-NABLE chapters in the United States.
