Region 7 Governor Official Nominee

 

Vision statement

The greatest joy I have had as a member of ASCE was coming back to my middle school to speak about Civil Engineering and conduct an activity from Dream Big. My teachers and professors believed in my ability to solve complex problems. I believe recruiting future engineers with pre-college outreach, fostering and supporting our college students majoring in Civil Engineering, and providing mentorship and guidance in the beginning of our young engineers’ careers should be one of our Society’s primary mission. As the interim St. Louis Region 7 Governor I will make executing this vision my priority. I will be a resource willing to speak with our Student Sections and provide support and guidance for our Sections outreach efforts. All of this while continuing to act as a conduit between Society and our delegate Sections.
