Officer Bios!
PRESIDENT: Ozioma Ozigbo

Hi Friend, my name is Ozioma Ozigbo, but you can call me Ozi. I am a senior studying mechanical and energy engineering at the University of North Texas. I was born and raised in Nigeria. I love to dance, write, act, and of course solve math problems. I joined SWE in 2019 because of my desire to be part of a community that empowered women in STEM. I first lead our section as Head of Public Relations and then Vice-President. Today, I am serving as the President of UNT SWE. I truly believe in inspiring and empowering others to strive for excellence. That is my mission as president. My hope is that SWE becomes that channel for you to succeed not just as you pursue you engineering degree, but in your day-to-day life. Don't be afraid to reach out to me if you have any questions, concerns or just want to chat!

VICE PRESIDENT: Emma Ndei
|
Hi! My name is Emma Ndei. I am a senior studying Mechanical and Energy Engineering while pursuing a minor in Mathematics. I chose to pursue engineering because it connects me to the world and allows me to be a part of history that continually develops science and technology. I also needed to find like-minded people, and this led me to SWE. Joining SWE was one of the best choices I made because I became a part of a community that continually promotes professional and academic improvement while giving back to the community. I am here to serve the organization to the best of my ability, therefore feel free to contact me with any questions and concerns. New ideas are also welcome!

Hi! My name is Jessica Nwachukwu and I’m the Director of Networking for the UNT SWE 2021 – 2022 board. I previously served as the Undergraduate Representative!

I joined SWE during my sophomore year because I wanted to be a part of a community of like-minded and passionate individuals! I enjoy being a SWE member because our focus transcends engineering. At SWE, we give back to the community by volunteering and we create lasting friendships by networking and creating an inclusive environment.

DIRECTOR OF OUTREACH: Noor Jebbeh
|
Hey y’all! My name is Noor Jebbeh and I am the Director of Outreach for UNT SWE since last year continuing this year! I joined SWE my sophomore year while working towards my Construction Engineering Technology degree and minoring in business. For as long as I can remember, I have dreamt of becoming an Engineer because I enjoyed 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.
