My first and only travel experience was when I went to Ghana to take the SAT, and it profoundly shaped my perspective on engineering and development. It was my first time leaving Liberia, and every moment—from the flight itself to my stay in Ghana—was eye-opening.
Boarding the plane was more than just a ride; it was a glimpse into my future in aerospace engineering. Knowing that I would one day design and optimize such vehicles motivated me to pursue my studies with even greater determination. When I landed at Kotoka International Airport, I was struck by the advanced infrastructure, a stark contrast to what I had seen at Roberts International Airport in Liberia. This made me realize how much work needs to be done in my country’s aviation sector and inspired me to envision change.
Seeing Ghana’s technological advancements reinforced my commitment to bringing similar progress to Liberia, particularly in aviation. My goal is to establish Liberia’s first airline and contribute to the country’s growth through engineering. Though my time in Ghana was focused on SAT preparations, the experience expanded my understanding of how engineering shapes the world. I look forward to joining the Global Engineering RAP, where I can develop my skills and collaborate with others to make a meaningful impact.

Global experiences and diverse perspectives play a crucial role in advancing the field of engineering, often serving as motivation to innovate and improve. Exposure to different environments, technologies, and challenges allows engineers to learn, adapt, and develop new solutions that might not have been apparent within a single setting. Through global experiences, engineers gain insights into varied infrastructural needs, cultural approaches to problem-solving, and emerging technologies, all of which contribute to a broader, more informed perspective.
By engaging with the world beyond their immediate surroundings, engineers discover new methods, refine their skills, and find inspiration to drive meaningful change. These experiences not only enhance technical knowledge but also encourage creativity and adaptability, which are essential for solving complex global challenges.

I want to be a member of the Global Engineering RAP at CU Boulder because its mission to prepare engineering students to tackle global challenges aligns with my aspirations. The program’s emphasis on interdisciplinary learning, cross-cultural collaboration, and real-world problem-solving deeply resonates with me.
My goal is to take the knowledge and experiences gained at CU Boulder and apply them as tools to achieve my career ambitions. Through this program, I aim to develop a global engineering mindset that will help me contribute to technological advancements in Liberia, particularly in the aerospace sector. The opportunity to engage with diverse perspectives, innovative projects, and hands-on learning will be invaluable as I work toward establishing Liberia’s first airline and improving its infrastructure.
By joining the Global Engineering RAP, I will not only gain the technical and leadership skills necessary for my field but also collaborate with like-minded peers and faculty who are passionate about engineering solutions that make a global impact.
