Enkh Turtogtokh

My name is Enkh Turtogtokh, and I am a high school senior at Overland High School in Aurora, Colorado. I serve as the Captain of the Robotics team, President of Technology Student Association, President of Environmental Club, and President of National Honor Society. My involvement in STEM education and civic engagement has greatly influenced my values of community support and equity. Further, the culmination of my identities as a Mongolian-American, first-generation, and low-income student has shaped my interest in helping provide opportunities for students like me. My interest in transportation technology emerged from my observation of the unreliable, unsafe public transportation in the suburbs of Colorado. I truly believe that improving transportation systems can transform communities. Both community support and equity are at the forefront of this issue. Through my pursuit of higher education, I hope to employ the technical knowledge I gain and my real-world experiences to address the issues I most care about. I have realized that when I am seeking to learn more about the world around me and I am devoting my time to solving local and global issues, I am most fulfilled. With the help of this scholarship, I am dedicated to making an impact.
