Meet the Team!
President

Hello everyone and welcome to WECS! I’m very excited to be leading this team of amazing women. We have some great plans and look forward to meeting all of you! If you see me on campus, say hi! I will probably talk about my current netflix obsession or maybe my newest plant, but I’m sure we can find time to discuss WECS.
