Get to know this year's board members and their responsibilities.
I am a senior, majoring in Computer Science and minoring in Geographic Information System. Through SWE, as a first generation Latina in STEM major, I can advocate not only for myself but also for all women in STEM, and that is one of my goals along the develop skills such as leadership, and enrich SWE college experience for current and new members.
Yashira
Vice-President

I'm currently in my fourth and final year as an electrical engineering student at CSUN. SWE is an organization that empowers people of all genders to achieve their full potentials in education and in the professional field and my goal is to do just that. I want to help provide the resources students need to flourish in their careers.

Computer Science
I was born in Mexico and moved to the US at age 15. Since then I been adapting to a new culture and language. But besides the struggles I been able to succeed and move forward in my educational goals. My goals in SWE are to learn from other women who also had their struggles and eventually inspire young Latin women to choose careers in STEM.

Nitya
Public Relations
I am currently studying to become a mechanical engineer. I’ve always been curious about science and interested in engineering. I started taking STEM classes in high school and that’s where my curiosity for science sparked. I’ve always done my best to get experience in the engineering realm and my goal as a SWE board member is to inspire other girls to be part of STEM.
Paola
Sponsorship Chair
Mechanical Engineering
I’m a senior civil engineering student graduating this spring. This is my first time on the SWE Board and I am very excited to be part of such a powerful group of women. My goal this year is to meet more women in STEM and to bring a bigger SWE presence to the CSUN campus. I am very excited for all the events we have planned!
