Candidate for President
Candidate Bio:
Hi! My name is Ozioma Ozigbo, but I go by Ozi. I am currently studying mechanical and energy engineering at UNT. I’ve been a part of SWE for over 2 years now. When I walked into my first SWE meeting, the sense of community was beautiful to witness. It felt like home to be amongst people with similar passions and ideas. I knew this was a community I wanted to be part of in the long run. I hope to work as an energy engineer after graduation; ensuring everyone regardless of class or social status has access to reliable, safe and sustainable energy. I am also an Engineering Ambassador for the college of Engineering at UNT. So, do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions. In my free time, I enjoy reading, going out with friends, writing, dancing, singing and acting. Sometime in the future, I would love to start a blog and podcast.

Candidate Bio:
Hi, my name is Megan Luthra! I am currently a junior studying Information Technology. I have been part of SWE for one year now and I have had a great experience getting to know wonderful people within the STEM community. I joined SWE during the beginning of the Covid-19 as an outlet to communicate and interact with other fellow engineers. The SWE community has encouraged me, as a woman, to feel proud to be a part of the STEM field. SWE has provided me the resources to develop my communication and professional skills that helped me land an internship. During my free time, I enjoy dancing, drawing, and playing with my little puppy Toby. I am so excited to see what is stored for SWE for the upcoming year!

Candidate for Director of Outreach
Candidate Bio:
Hey y’all! My name is Noor Jebbeh and I am currently the Director of Outreach for UNT SWE and I am rerunning to be Director of Outreach for the 21-22 school year! I joined SWE my sophomore year while working towards my Construction Engineering Technology degree and minoring in business. During this year while I was the Director of Outreach, I have really enjoyed hosting events for as long as I can remember, I have dreamt of becoming an engineer because I enjoy math and science. Also, I was inspired by my dad , who is an engineer, and since I am the only girl in my family pursuing a career in the engineering field, I joined SWE to connect with other female engineers. SWE has given me lifelong friendships, many experiences, a supportive community, and has provided an environment where I feel supported and motivated to become a successful engineer.

Candidates for Head of Public Relations
Candidate Bio:
Hi everyone! My name is Cayla Vu, and I am a freshman studying mechanical and energy engineering. I recently moved to Texas this year from Philadelphia, and I am loving every bit of this place. Some fun facts about me are that I have an Instagram account for my dog, I enjoy playing online games, talking to friends, biking, and exploring new food places occasionally. I also find pleasure playing the flute and piano.
I developed an interest for engineering in high school where I took a few engineering classes and was involved in a women in engineering club. One of the reasons why I chose to be in this field is because I want to inspire young females to break into the STEM/STEAM field and increase their interest and confidence in being in a male-dominating field. I want to become more involved in SWE next year as I go through my educational journey. I really enjoyed attending SWE virtual meetings this year, and I cannot wait to meet everyone in person when the time comes!

Candidate for Undergraduate Representative
Candidate Bio:
My name is Jordan Rider, and I am currently a freshman majoring in Mechanical and Energy Engineering. I enjoy reading, painting, photography, and rearranging rooms in my spare time. I am a cat mom and majority of the storage on my phone is composed of cat pictures. I’ve known for a long time that I wanted to pursue a career in engineering so that I could utilize my love and skills of STEM related courses in a creative manner. Creative thinking is my strongest skill and the one I’m most proud of. This was my first year as a member of SWE, but I look forward to being a part of this organization for years to come!
