Alumni Coordinator |
My name is Hinal Patel and I am originally from Dallas, Texas. I moved to South Carolina in third grade, but I moved to my high school town in 8th grade. I have been part of the South Carolina Technology Student Association since I was a freshman in high school. This club has allowed me to become passionate about how technology is incorporated in the real world. When I competed, my favorite event was Biotechnology Design and Children’s story. Biotechnology Design made me passionate about scientific research and children’s story brought my inner child out in me. I have been part of a national finalist team for the events Manufacturing Prototype and Fashion Design. During my high school career, I was the Treasurer and Sergeant-at-Arms for my school. For the state delegation, I served as the Sergeant-at-Arms. This organization has made me the person I am today. It has taught me to embrace diversity and it has made me passionate about helping others. The Technology Student Association has given me lifelong friends and memories. It has taught me to lead in the technical world.
I currently attend the University of South Carolina in Columbia and my major is pharmaceutical sciences. I am planning on getting involved in scientific research as well. I am really excited to give back to the organization that has shaped me for who I am today, as an alumni coordinator. I want to keep the alumnus connected to what they love. |
