2009-2010 SWE Officers

President: Arielle Fakhraee

Major: Mechanical Engineering, 2010

Interest: I love robots:)

Why SWE: SWE is by far the best way to network and a great resource locally and nationally


Vice Presidents:

Jessica Sites

Major: Chemical Engineering, 2010

Activities: President of the American Institute of Chemical Engineering, Tufts Chapter.  Currently I am conducting research at Serica Technologies, a company right down the street on Boston Ave, who specialize in tissue regeneration.  I received a BREEM scholarship to work at Serica this past summer so if anyone has any questions about research or scholarships, please shoot me an email.  When I'm not intensely working at the campus center, I enjoy going out and dancing in the mock "cage" in my house.  If you ever have any questions about engineering or life in general, feel free to email me at jessica.sites@gmail.com!


Anna Simon

Major: Environmental Engineering, 2011

Interests: Environmental issues, clean water, health, China, cooking

Why SWE: SWE is a fantastic resource for engineering advice that applies to Tufts and the real world. Coming to meetings and SWE-sponsored events is also a great way to make better friends with people from your classes and even female engineers in other years. I’m also the webmaster, so if you have any suggestions/comments about the website, please direct them to me!

SWE Boston Coordinators: Andrea Dwyer

Hi, my name is Andrea Dwyer, and I am a SWE Boston co-coordinator for Tufts SWE. I am a senior majoring in human factors engineering and minoring in engineering management. My favorite part of being involved in Tufts SWE is the networking opportunities we have locally at events for Boston-area SWE members and nationally at the annual SWE conference and career fair. Fun fact: I love Google Reader, Thai food, and the Red Sox!


Alyssa Edoo


Publicity Chairs: Julia Carn and Rayna Trietsch


Event Coodinators:

Emily Anderson

Hi, I'm Emily Anderson and I'm one of the Event Coordinators for SWE this year. I'm a sophomore Environmental Engineer and Community Health Major. I joined SWE as a freshman and found the group and our events supportive and insightful. Here's a joke: What do you get when you cross a mosquito with a mountain climber? Answer: Nothing. You can't cross a scalar with a vector. (oh, multivariable calculus).


Roxanne Tully

I'm Roxanne Tully, from Lake Forest, Illinois.  I'm a sophomore majoring in Mechanical Engineering and I'm the Co-Event Coordinator for SWE.  I love to snowboard, cook, and coordinate events. My favorite place in the world is the Wren Den.  SWE is a great way to get involved in the engineering community and to seek opportunities outside of Tufts.


Operations Coordinator: Karin Skalina

Corporate Relations: Bri Cilley

Fundraising Coordinator: Melissa Myint

Outreach Coordinator: Lyndsey York

Graduate/Alumni Advisor: Courtney Mario


Junior Class Representative: Abbie Spencer

My name is Abbie Spencer. I'm a junior majoring in Mechanical Engineering, and this year I am the Junior Representative. I am also a proud member of Nerd Girls and the Tufts Solar Racing Team.


Sophomore  Class Representative: Becca Olsen

My name is Rebecca Olsen and I am the sophomore representative for SWE.  I am a chemical engineer and my favorite food is peanut butter.  SWE has been a wonderfully convenient way to meet other female engineers here at Tufts!


Freshman Class Representatives:

Fun fact: I hate chocolate


Denise Nguyen

My name is Denise Nguyen and I intend to major in Electrical Engineering. I am currently a freshman representative for SWE. I have a birthmark on my left cheek that varies in color depending on my mood! In my free time, I like to have solo dance parties in my room. Get to know me!
