​Hi everyone! My name is Tenzin and I will be one of the conference co-chairs for SWE this year. I am a Junior in Chemical Engineering and minoring in Mathematics. I am super excited to work with some amazing women who are promoting a movement of women in engineering to create a powerful change in the world.

My most memorable experience in SWE is the WELocal San Diego as it was a great learning experience for me. The women narrating their heroic experiences and accomplishments at the talks left me in complete awe and I took home their inspiration to live by. They made me believe and instill my faith that women are breaking stereotypes by traversing path breaking ventures.

​This summer, I am spending time with my family in New Hampshire and Massachusetts. In times of a global pandemic, I had the opportunity to reconnect with my family and close ones. I think that life’s fast forward pace slowed down itself, for the better. I am getting my mental respite having to share more time with family and self-introspecting myself.

​I spend most of my time with our little tortoise, Mosses. Feeding him lots of lettuce has been my favorite part of the day. I also enjoy going to the beaches and rejuvenating myself watching the sunsets. Getting home cooked food has been a silver lining on the cloud as I prepare myself for all the frozen food, I need to buy at Trader Joe’s to survive this semester.
