Hi, it's Leyna

Thank you for stopping by my corner of the (internet) world. I hope you enjoy learning a little bit more about who I am as an engineer, a policy maker, an artist, a businesswoman, a foodie, a sister, a daughter, and a person.
​
If it gets boring, I owe you a restaurant recommendation.

About Me

I am a current junior at the University of Michigan, studying Robotics with a minor in Public Policy at the Ford School of Public Policy. My passion is people-first engineering, and my long-term goal is to create technology that improves social accessibility and advocate for legislation that mitigates technological risks. As I pivot into my Robotics major, I am excited to be a part of Michigan Mars Rover Team (MRover), contributing to the robot arm sub-team.

I have served as a Paragon Tech Policy Fellowship executive board member for two semesters, supporting undergraduate and graduate fellows in their government partnership projects and sharing my experiences as an alumni fellow who worked with Albuquerque, NM on safe AI policy.  I am also undergoing training to become a DJ on UMich's very own student radio station, WCBN FM!

Outside of school, I love trying new restaurants around Ann Arbor every month (ask me for recommendations☺︎). I enjoy listening to a vast variety of music from all around the world, and I play four different instruments; the guitar, piano, fiddle, and ukulele.

Fun fact: I started a small business over the summer so I could buy more concert tickets like a responsible adult (it was a success!).
