TEAM LEADS

25-26 TEAM LEADS “Full-circle and genuinely impactful are two ways I would describe my role as Team Lead at KLI. Since my first year at KLI, I knew I wanted to be a Team Lead during my senior year. Each year, I looked up to the team leads for both research and institute teams. From Yesenia and Leyna, to Ian and Joy, and to Amelia and Kaavya, I have been fortunate to build friendships and mentorships that have shaped my leadership philosophy and enhanced my growth at CMC. These relationships, along with KLI’s leadership
development system, mentorship from KLI faculty & staff, and leadership coaching, have helped me establish a clear identity and leadership philosophy. I feel more comfortable and confident in who I am and my purpose as a leader & person. Some of my favorite memories with KLI are travelling with KLI to the Spring Board Meeting in New York in 2024 and to the International Leadership Association (ILA) Conference for a case study competition in the fall of 2024. I also enjoy the minute day-to-day interactions in our beautiful Kravis 4th Floor office space, either at the front desk when conversing with those walking by, chatting extensively with Marilyn, or sharing team meals for SEMI or Newsletter Team. As a Team Lead, I hope to 1) promote this same leadership development system and its potential to all KLI members by making it clearer and accountable, and 2) continue to build our KLI family –our community is unique among research institutes, given our supportive and friendly environment that

transcends the work we do at KLI. From my roommate junior year (Zach Roerden) to many of my closest friends with whom I have formed the best memories at CMC, the KLI community has both provided a great means of leadership development and also a sense of personal support & celebration. Specifically on the Institute Team, I hope to support our existing work and further expand our projects: establishing a formal podcast team, innovating and expanding our social media presence through a more organized posting implementation team for Instagram and a new KLI TikTok, finding ways to service our local and global communities through community leadership, engaging our audience better through a more frequent communication from the Newsletter team (monthly newsletter), and lastly, creating a new way for KLI students to engage with Advisory Board Members through in-person visits/interest treks organized by the SEMI team.”
