HI, I'M LESLY ROJAS

I am currently a 4th year student pursuing a bachelor's degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Oregon State University.

I have a passion for combining engineering and human-centered design to create solutions for pressing challenges in the medical and electrification field.

Over the last couple of years, I've had the opportunity to work on different award-winning inventions that range from medical devices to agriculture machinery attachments. Most notably, an adaptive cup for individuals with dysphagia (inability to swallow properly) as part of the Lemelson-MIT InvenTeam where my team and I presented at MIT to faculty, students, and community members. Something that I only saw possible in my wildest dreams as a first-generation student. Although I still have a long road ahead of me, I plan to continue sharing my journey as an aspiring engineer.

MY PATHWAY THROUGH INVENTION EDUCATION
