After high school graduation, I traveled with East Union Presbyterian Church to install a solar-powered water purification system in Haiti. This was really a game changer for me as an aspiring engineer and as a person.
Haitian kids love having their photograph taken (most of them had never seen themselves on a screen before).

The trip was proceeded by training in Little Rock, AR. This was the first time I ever flew alone, and I was super nervous that I was going to be late to prom.

Seeing the city was an incredible culture shock for me. 
The traffic in Haiti was wild.
