President - Amanda Rampersad

I graduated from UCF with a B.S. in Computer Science. I served as Vice President of Outreach for CFL SWE for 2 years, and as President for the last year. I enjoy travel, food, exercise, and trying to make the world a happier place.

Candidate Statement:
Having served on the board of Central Florida SWE for the past 3 years, I believe I have the experience and skills to help CFL SWE continue its mission of empowering women and girls in STEM. I previously served as Vice President of Outreach for 2 years, overseeing numerous STEM workshops that promoted, encouraged, and instilled an interest in STEM among girls in grades K-12. I served as President for the last year, and under my leadership, CFL SWE has forged lasting relationships with other engineering societies in Central Florida, continued to support the professional development of women in STEM, and given back to the community through various volunteer events. I hope to serve another term as President so that I can continue as an advocate for women and girls, and to support the wonderful women who have made CFL SWE so successful and subsequently bettered the Orlando STEM community.
