I am a Senior Government and Politics major who is excited to help build upon ProDev's legacy as Co-President. I find it immensely rewarding to explore the adversities encountered by the less privileged, individuals who hold great character. ProDev provides the means for students to give back through personal areas of interest relating to International Development while being inclusive of all its members.

I am a Senior Sociology student at the University of Maryland. I'm also involved in the Minor for International Development and Conflict Management. My involvement with ProDev stems from my eagerness to help others. In my experience within the field of development I’ve realized that youth-led groups are the future for sustainable development, social activism and international change. In my mind, ProDev is an example of youth-empowerment and effective development at its best.

I am a senior with an Environmental Policy major that enjoys community service. I think that it is important to give back to the community and be involved in groups on campus that help people in need. I joined ProDev, because of the creative projects that members had done in the past. When I heard about their work, I was inspired by the impact that they were making, impressed by their ideas, and eager to be a member of ProDev. Also, my one word to describe ProDev is "compassionate."
