Hello! I’m Kyla Jarrell, and I’m from Eagle River, Alaska. This is my third semester with EWB, and I have been involved in NCP and the fundraising team. EWB has been such a great experience; I have had so much fun getting involved with the benefit dinner and meeting so many passionate people. I’m looking forward to all the fun events this year. Outside of EWB, I enjoy dancing, aerial arts, and going on walks around campus.

I’ve been a part of Engineers Without Borders since 2022 (my freshman year), and I’ve gotten the privilege to travel with GWS twice to Guatemala, as well as be their current co-lead. I love how EWB allows students to gain hands-on experience with engineering in the real world, while also learning how to be sustainable in all that we do. When I’m not doing EWB work or school, you can most likely find me around the triangle trying out new coffee spots!
