Meet Our Executive Board

President

I am a Senior from Indianapolis, IN. In addition to ChE, I have a concentration in Biotechnology and Pharmaceuticals with a minor in Biotech. I joined OXE in the fall of 2023 and served as the Junior Representative. I believe OXE is a great community filled with fantastic people and it's a great way to actively be involved with not only the campus but also with some of the best and brightest ChE students.
