Meet Our Officers

As President, I oversee the section and communicate with company representatives to secure sponsorships and forge new relationships. I also support both the officer board to help organize events, pilot new ideas, and plan meetings for the general body. My final role is to communicate the purpose of SWE to other organizations on campus to help spread our influence and message of diversity.

​

Outside of SWE, I am a part of the BOLT Electric Motorcycle Design and the IT Security Lab. Additionally, I am a member of the Tau Beta Pi and Eta Kappa Nu honor societies and was a member of the Galipatia Living Learning Community for three years. Beyond engineering, I enjoy playing viola in a small music group, playing volleyball with my friends, and hiking around Blacksburg. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or just want to chat!

As Vice President, I serve as bridge between company representatives and the general members of our section. I communicate to our sponsors to organize and host our general body meetings, as well as assist the President when needed.

​

Outside of SWE, I am a pilot, avid baker, gymnast on the VT Club Team, and a hiker. You can find me making sourdough or cakes and sometimes hiking on Blacksburg's many trails on the weekend. I also love doing movie and dinner nights with my friends, and hanging out with my fellow SWEsters when I can. Oh, and I love animals :) I'm currently a Junior in Aerospace Engineering with a minor in Math, and I hope to work on NASA projects one day.

Feel free to reach out anytime about anything and everything! Whether it be to hang out, get advice, or just need a listening ear, I'm here!

As Secretary, I send out the weekly newsletters keeping our members up to date about what our section is doing, community events, and various opportunities available to them. I also keep track of attendance for our general body meetings.

​

Outside of SWE, I'm the Academic Committee Liaison for Galipatia and a peer tutor with the Student Success Center. I hope to use my engineering degree to positively impact people and the environment. To relax, I enjoy doing puzzles (jigsaw, Sudoku, minesweeper, basically any type), listening to excessively long video essays, and hanging out with friends.

As Treasurer I am responsible for the collection, distribution, and safekeeping of the section's funds. I also prepare and maintain financial reports as well as file taxes on behalf of the section. I hope to increase transparency of the section's funds in this position to enable new ideas and increased impact by our organization.

​

At Virginia Tech, I am also a CS Ambassador, Dean's Team member, and a member of the Infinitum Design Team. I am very passionate about increasing diversity in STEM and like to spend my time volunteering in various initiatives in my local community as well as in Blacksburg. In my free time I love to spend time in nature along with watching Marvel movies and TV shows.

My final role is to attend meetings to assist in planning for general body meetings.

​

Outside of SWE, I enjoy reading, hanging out with friends, tutoring students in Calculus and Chemistry (check out the Student Success Center for help!), and mentoring students as a part of CEED.

As the Educational Outreach Committee chair, I work with K-12 schools, scouting troops, and other educational programs across the New River Valley area and beyond to promote women in STEM and engineering! My role consists of planning these outreach events (along with the incredible education outreach committee), being a liaison between K-12 program leaders and SWE, and ensuring our events run smoothly while providing an enriching experience for the young women.

​

Outside of SWE, I am involved with undergraduate research, various CEED positions, Alpha Sigma Kappa, and I mentor my old robotics team!
