Building a place to learn radio by doing.

I was one of two students who founded the Pima Amateur Radio Club. I started as vice president and later moved into the treasurer role, while my fellow founder, Ben, continued as president. As treasurer, I work with Ben, our fellow students, and faculty advisors to strengthen the club, organize meetings and events, and create a welcoming place for people who want to explore amateur radio.

A major focus is completing a fully operational amateur radio station—our ham shack—at Pima's Northwest Campus. The station gives students a permanent setting for hands-on learning, equipment demonstrations, communication practice, and future club activities.

The work combines organization and technical problem-solving: coordinating people, planning events, helping make decisions about the station, and turning student interest into opportunities to participate.

Completing the Northwest Campus ham shack is the club's next major milestone. A fully operational station will give K7PCC a dependable home for meetings, equipment demonstrations, on-air practice, and hands-on exploration of radio and communications.

Alongside the station work, I will continue organizing student meetings and events, collaborating with faculty advisors, and creating opportunities for new members to participate. The goal is not only to finish a room full of equipment, but to build an active student organization that knows how to use it, learn from it, and keep it growing.
