Women in Aerospace
Vice President, President, Secretary
As part of the Women in Aerospace for three years of my undergraduate studies, I found a family away from home. We organized outreach events for middle school girls by the name Girls Learning Air and Space Sciences (G.L.A.S.S) Day. I also co-headed the Women's Departmental Developmental committee to foster an inclusive environment for women in the department. We organized informational sessions, resume reviews and networking events towards the same.
