Owen Clarke

I'm studying computer science at Princeton University, and I look forward to using my skills to create a positive impact on the world. Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, playing basketball, and fishing.

I founded my own landscaping and snow removal services business to support local community where I marketed and scheduled services and managed invoicing to ensure a positive customer experience.

I also founded an outdoor day camp to help kids safely socialize during COVID by organizing daily activities.

Lastly, I have coached several different basketball teams, with players from 4th grade up to 8th grade. In these roles, I leveraged my extensive experience to demonstrate drills, coach private lessons, and provide feedback to younger players.

In high school, I served as the secretary and eventually the president of the Computer Science Honor Society, where I led all-member meetings, organized coding workshops, and founded an outreach program to introduce computer science concepts at elementary schools. I was also a captain on the baseball and basketball teams, and studied and served abroad in Cape Town, South Africa.

In my first year at Princeton, I have earned a 3.93 GPA and joined Princeton Outdoor Action, where I have trained in leadership, outdoor technical skills, first aid, and managing risk in preparation for leading freshman orientation backpacking trips.
