“I am the engineer I am today thanks to my involvement in the UW Society of Women Engineers’ Boeing Tech Team. Working alongside other minorities in engineering has been one of the most encouraging and rewarding experiences I have had at UW-Madison. By joining an engineering org, I have gained leadership skills, applied engineering knowledge, and most importantly met my closest friends. The women in the UW Mechanical Engineering Department have created a supportive culture that has greatly contributed to my engineering success, and for that, I am truly grateful.”
