About Me

Intro

My name is Alexis Mollet. I was born in France, raised in New Jersey and moved to Boulder, Colorado to study Mechanical Engineering at CU Boulder. I enjoy playing club rugby for CU and skiing with friends in my free time. In New Jersey, I graduated for Seton Hall Preparatory School, a catholic school with a tradition commited to the education of young men by teachingthem to think critically, communicate effectively, and become contributing members of society. During High School I enjoyed swimming for the varsity team, served as a peer leader for a homeroom of 15 freshman, took responsiblity as the president of the Engineering Club, volunteered as an Ambassador, and as a Gregory Ave Tutor for underprivaleged elementary school students, as well as being inducted into the National Honor Society. On the weekends I worked as one of 3 coaches for the Shawnee Mountain, Alpine Ski Racing Club; where I was placed in charge of a group of 30 ski racers ranging from anges 8-18 yrs old. I was also heavily involved in the Scouts of America, in which after earning Eagle Scout after 14 yrs old; I started to focus on work at the council level. I became heavily involved in the Order of the Arrow (the National Honor Society) where I was elected as Lodge Chief 2 years in a row (1 of 30 in the nation). In this role I lead and coordinated a group of 30 youth and 30 adults to organize and orchestrate a lodge of 600+ members. In my free time I also enjoyed mountain biking, road biking and competing in triathlons.

Why Engineering?

I decided on enrolling as an engineering major for a few reasons...
I love to creative aspect that is simultaneously backed up by the systematic applications of science and math. I also have great appreciation for collaboration, especially in group settings developing systems which work to save our planet from many overbearing issuessuch as poverty advancing economic growth and saving the planet. Finally I developed an affinity for an optimistic mindset which has peaked my interest in finding creative approaches to problem solving.
