Anushya Raghuram - 1st choice: VP Campus Relations, 2nd choice: VP Industry Relations
I am a Junior Chemical And Biomolecular Engineering Major at Georgia Tech. I was brought up in
Hudson, New Hampshire, and I have always been part of a club during each part of my life so I love
working with a team! I believe I will work well with a multi-cultural and diverse team. I enjoy reading books
about World War II, watching classic movies with my family and friends, and trying all types of world
cuisines. I live by the quote said by Will Smith in the "Pursuit of Happiness." The quote is "You got a
dream, you got to protect it. People can’t do something themselves, they want to tell you that you can’t do
it. You want something ? Got get it. Period." I hope to live by this motto as VP of Campus Relations or
Industry Relations.
Vijayeetha Ramesh - 1st choice: VP Membership, 2nd choice: Secretary
I am a 3rd year Chemical Engineering major and have been in SWE since I joined as a freshman. I have
participated in many outreach and social events, and I have attended both regional and national
conferences. I think SWE is a wonderful resource that has helped me grow myself professionally and I
want to be able to share that experience with others. I want to run for VP of Membership because from
my executive board experiences in other organizations, an organization is only as strong as its member
base. I want to be able to increase bonding among all the members outside of our industry meetings, and
in turn bring in new people who want to be a part of our tight-knit support network.
Madeline Johnson - 1st choice: VP Campus Relations, 2nd choice: VP Membership
I am a second year electrical-engineering major here at Tech and have a passion for not only
engineering, but also for WOMEN in engineering. I am a strong leader and do so by means
encouragement and promoting group success. I want to see the female population at Tech reach a point
of overall confidence and for us to be able to utilize the best resource we're not using: each other! I want
us to realize that we can succeed at anything if we put our minds together and utilize the great
opportunities we have as SWEsters!
Hannah Chen - 1st choice: Secretary, 2nd choice: VP Industry Relations
Hi, my name is Hannah Chen and I am a 1st year Industrial & Systems Engineering major running for
SWE Executive Secretary! SWE is important to me because I have really found my niche within this
organization during my freshman year. I am currently the High School Outreach Chair and I would’ve
never imagined myself holding a leadership position and organizing large events during my freshman
year. But through SWE, I’ve been able to pursue my passion by working with very talented and
hardworking girls to organize SWE events! Being a SWE Executive Secretary means that I will have the
wonderful opportunity to use my leadership and organizational skills to help Georgia Tech female
engineering majors find their niche during their college years. After all, we’re at Georgia Tech! SWE can
do that!
Jacqui Green - 1st choice: President, 2nd choice: VP Campus Relations
Hi! My name is Jacqui Green and I am a 3rd year Mechanical Engineering major originally from New
Jersey. I’ve been involved with SWE since my junior year of high school and have served in the GT SWE
chapter as Little SWE chair, VP Outreach and am currently the chapter President (since January 2015). I
am re-running for my position as President since I have a lot of great ideas for the chapter that I’ve
already helped to implement and want to continue to implement and improve over the next year. My goals
for the position include increasing membership, increasing the SWE community and bond between
members, increasing SWE’s relationships with GT Faculty and GT SWE Alumni, diversifying our sponsors
so that we can bring companies to meetings that are relevant to all majors, and increasing SWE’s
presence and brand on campus. I’ve worked closely with my executive board this semester to start a lot
of great events and therefore I know a great deal about each of the executive positions and have a solid
foundation for the future. I’ve also served as SWE Region D Collegiate Representative which has given
me a lot of contacts outside of GT SWE and avenues to help grow our chapter. I’ve also held four
internships since my freshmen year (3 with Lockheed Martin and 1 with the Department of Navy). I love
SWE and I love mentoring young aspiring engineers and helping them to plan and grow their future. In my
free time I like to go to Piedmont Park, cook, hike, sometimes I like working out, cleaning/re-organizing
my apartment, hanging out with friends, traveling (I’ve been to 14 different countries), trying new
restaurants, and meeting new people!
Anika Dhamodharan - 1st choice: VP Technical Development
Hi SWEeties! My name is Anika Dhamodharan and I am a 3rd year Industrial Engineer at Georgia Tech. I
currently serve as VP of Industry Relations, and have had an amazing experience this past semester
serving on the Executive Board. I am passionate about giving back and serving the Georgia Tech campus
and have served as EWB Nicaragua Program Project Manager, ISYE Ambassador, and by being an RA.
I’m qualified for this position because I have proven that I can drive results. During this semester serving
as VP of Industry Relations I increased sponsorship by 40% in less than two months, and helped secure
our top two annual sponsors. I was able to reestablish relationships with companies that we had
overlooked during the past couple of years, and even started sponsorship for the Fall semester. I have
shown through this role that I need little direction to make big changes in our organization, and this is
why I will succeed in delivering high-quality engineering programs for women here at Tech.
Ida Mizani - 1st choice: VP Campus Relations, 2nd choice: VP Technical Development
Ida Mizani is a first year Industrial and Systems Engineering student from Alpharetta, GA. Upon arriving to
Georgia Tech, Ida believed that being involved on campus was one of the top things she wanted to get
out of her college experience. She is an active member of her sorority and also joined SWE and currently
holds the position of Corporate Connections Chair in the Industry Relations committee. Ida holds various
positions outside of SWE as well, including Marketing Officer for Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE),
Finance Chair for the 2015 Women's Leadership Conference, Logistics Committee Member for the
Freshman Student Government Association, and more. With these positions, she believes that she can
contribute most to SWE if chosen for VP of Campus Relations given her desire to branch out on campus
and her current campus involvement as a freshman student. She would like to increase the presence of
SWE on campus by developing greater correspondence with different organizations on campus, faculty,
and more, and also by speaking at different events and meetings about SWE's purpose and what SWE
does for women in engineering. She would like to positively represent SWE as VP of Campus Relations
to each and every student on campus and through this aspires to increase SWE membership and
ultimately improve SWE as a whole at both a university and a national level.
Lindsey Robirds - 1st choice: VP Campus Relations
Lindsey is a second year electrical engineering student, she is the current VP of Campus Relations and is
applying for this same role again. She already has a year of experience under her belt which she believes
will make it much easier to transition into the next school year with ease. She have worked closely with
Jacqui this past year in organizing all of SWE's new events such as Professor luncheon, GetFIT classes,
Intramural team, and more. Her goal is to continue to reach out and form a relationship with other
organizations on campus so that the girls active in SWE this semester get the most opportunities possible
through their membership with our organization.
Fariha Islam - 1st choice: VP Campus Relations, 2nd choice: Secretary
My name is Fariha Islam and I am a third year Civil Engineering major. This is also my third year in SWE
and I absolutely love it. I am currently one of the Awards Banquet Chair and have also served as the Tea
With the Dean Chair, Social Chair, and VP of Membership. I am running for the VP of Campus Relations
and Secretary. I want to be VP of Campus Relations to develop and grow our relationships with other
professional societies such as NSBE and SHPE. I have many friends in NSBE who have approached me
about collaborating on events since they know of my long-term involvement in SWE. As SWEsters we
have developed relationships within SWE, but I think it's time for us to have a larger presence on campus
and form stronger connections with others.
Jessica Pfeffer - 1st choice: VP Industry Relations
I am a third year Aerospace Engineering student and have been actively involved in SWE for three years.
I held the executive position of SWE Treasurer this past year and was able to learn about and contribute
so much to SWE. I attend all weekly SWE meetings, and most outreach, and other SWE professional and
community events. I have attended regional and national conferences and have had a great experience
and learned new information and ideas about SWE as a whole. I am also involved in the Georgia Tech
marching band, Tau Beta Sigma band service sorority, the Grand Challenges Living/Learning community,
and a few other organizations and opportunities on campus. I am applying for the positions of VP of
Industry Relations. In this position I would use my past executive board experience as SWE Treasurer to
maintain and improve GT SWE’s relationship with companies. I would try and get new companies to
present and new presentation topics based on what members would like to hear. In this position I would
also like to continue an alumni database. As a SWE officer I would like to increase membership retention,
communication in the organization, and campus involvement. I have had a great experience with SWE so
far, and would like to get more involved and contribute more towards an organization I love being a part
of!
Alyssa Jackson - 1st choice: VP Outreach, 2nd choice: VP Administration
Hi! My name is Alyssa Jackson and I am a third year biomedical engineering major here at Georgia Tech.
I have been involved with SWE for two years now and I absolutely love this organization. Outreach is my
passion. I have worked as an academic mentor and tutor for various K-12 schools throughout metro
Atlanta for the past three years. This experience propelled me to apply for my first SWE position as the
Little SWE chair. Through this position, I was able to establish Little SWE clubs at two new schools. Aside
from Little SWE, I have planned major events such as SWE Georgia Tech Day. For this event, I had to
organize an event for 80 middle school students to visit GT and learn about engineering. I was
responsible for planning the activities, coordinating volunteers, and managing the schedule. This
semester I was able to actually take on the role of VP Outreach. This has been an incredible experience
and I absolutely LOVE my job on the executive board. I have a plethora of new ideas for next semester
and would love the opportunity to continue my role.
Jackie Krevolin - 1st choice: Secretary, 2nd choice: VP Administration
I am a third year Industrial Engineering major from outside of Philadelphia, PA. Outside of SWE, I am
heavily involved in my sorority and Connect with Tech. SWE has given me so much in relation to career
opportunities as well as friends and I want to continue to give back to this great organization. I currently
serve as Secretary for SWE, and would love to continue to hold this position in the next school year. This
semester we have been able to increase participation in events, partially because of the amount of
publicity we have been able to do. I want to continue to find new and creative ways to get girls excited
about our meetings and events.
Christina Wangen - 1st choice: Secretary, 2nd choice: Treasurer
I am a 3rd year Industrial Engineering major with a Spanish minor and originally from Cary, NC. While I
have been at Georgia Tech I have become involved in Zeta Tau Alpha and the Catholic Center. I
participated in the Mexico/Ecuador Spanish LBAT during the summer of 2013 and had the amazing
opportunity to travel to the Galapagos Islands. I am returning to campus after a year of co-oping with
Johnson & Jonson and will be finishing out my third and final semester this upcoming summer. Johnson &
Johnson has taught me important professional, technical, and communication skills I have applied in both
my personal and academic life. In my free time I enjoy reading, traveling, golf, and tennis.
Alizeh Rehman - 1st choice: President
My name is Alizeh Rehman and I am a 3rd year Chemical Engineering major. This is my 3rd year being
involved with SWE. I walked into my first meeting for SWE at Georgia Tech and absolutely fell in love with
the organization! I knew from that point that I wanted to be involved in SWE for the rest of my college
career as well as my professional career. I have been on the Executive Board for 4 semesters and served
as the Treasurer and Vice President of Administration. I would now like to have the opportunity to give
back to the organization that has invested so much in my personal and professional growth by serving as
the President for SWE!
Shivani Saini - 1st choice: VP Administration, 2nd choice: Treasurer
My name is Shivani Saini, and I am from TX, home of the Dallas Cowboys and Dr. Pepper. This is my
2nd year being a Ramblin’ Wreck, as well as my 2nd year being a SWEster. I have previously served as
the Social Chair and the Publicity Chair for SWE. I love SWE, and I have made some of my very best
friends here. I am a very extroverted person, and I love meeting new people. My greatest experiences in
SWE thus far have been attending the conferences (in Tuscaloosa and LA) and getting a chance to
expand my professional horizons in a casual setting and getting to know some of my fellow SWEsters.
Therefore, I would like to run for VP of Administration, where I will be able to plan out these conferences
and help others have an experience as wonderful as mine. I would also like to run for the position of
Treasurer because I love money ☺ and because I am a Techie who loves dealing with numbers. SWE is
an organization really close to my heart. I love getting to spend time with such amazing women, and I
look forward to several more years being a SWEster.
Giovanna Colo - 1st choice: VP Administration
Hi! My name is Giovanna Colo and I’m a third year Chemical Engineering student from The Bahamas. I
first joined the GT chapter of the Society of Women Engineers three years ago by attending Tea With the
Dean in 2012. It was at that Tea With the Dean that I saw the potential in SWE, and I knew that this was
an organization that I would be committed to for the remainder of my undergraduate career. My passion
for SWE developed throughout my first year -I was actively involved with all aspects of SWE: outreach,
socials, conference, and professional meetings. By the end of that year, I had gained so much from SWE
and become so passionate about it that I decided I would give back to the organization by serving on the
executive board. I recognized that being a SWE officer would give me the opportunity to directly impact
others through sharing my passion, and provide for girls in SWE what was provided to me when I first got
to Tech: friendship, mentorship and professional development. Since then I have held two leadership
positions: Vice President of Membership - Fall 2013, FASET Chair - Summer 2014, and Vice President of
Membership - Spring 2015. For my last year at Georgia Tech, I remain committed to SWE and it would be
my pleasure and an honor to be your Vice President of Administration for 2015-2016.
