"Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other." John F. Kennedy
I am Guilherme Lessa, born and raised in Salvador, Brazil. I am in my Mechanical Engineering senior year at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. My career interest is to act as an engineer in a global company, generating value through intense passion, exemplary work ethic, methodological problem solving, and empathetic leadership.
Having leadership skills is critical for me to explore the full potential of my teammates and accomplish our common goals in an efficient and respectful manner. Therefore, I have decided to participate in the Leadership Certificate Program to develop those skills through trainings, workshops, team experiences, and more.
