VR Club at UIUC
I was heavily involved with the VR Club at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, starting as a member and eventually serving as Vice President and President. The club became a space where students could explore modern virtual reality technology together, whether through hands-on demos, talks, or collaborative projects. As a leader, I helped shape meetings and events while keeping the club’s equipment and day-to-day operations running smoothly. I focused on building a welcoming, collaborative environment that encouraged curiosity and experimentation across technical and creative backgrounds. Leading the VR Club was a formative experience in community-building, leadership, and working with emerging technology.
