IOTA CLASS

Shirley Arriaga

​

Hello! My name is Shirley Antonio Arriaga. I was born in and raised in the Bay Area. I am currently majoring in mechanical engineering. I wanted a career that had many pathways as well as incorporating design into the major. I absolutely love working with 3D programs and seeing how small comments combine make one huge system work. In the future, I hope to work for a tech company that allows me to create and explore more in depth what mechanical engineering really is. I currently work for EAP(Engineering Ambassadors Program)in which I am able to mentor high schoolers in their science fair projects and give them an insight on college. I also enjoy playing my ukulele, hammocking outside or even painting. I decided to join AOE mainly because I wanted support along  my college challenges but also because I wanted to network with other females in STEM majors. I am excited and eager to make lifelong bonds and memories.

Natalie Lewis

​

Hello! I am Natalie Lewis and I am currently an Aerospace Engineering student. I chose to move to San Jose from a small town in southern California so I could focus on my studies and for the opportunities that Silicon Valley provides. My major choice was inspired by my grandfather who is a retired air force pilot and is currently a part time test pilot. When I was young he would take me on flights and to Museums so I could learn more about spacecrafts and air crafts. During college I plan to gain as much experience as possible through internships so I can hopefully get a job at SpaceX with innovative space exploration technology. In my free time I love to workout, choreograph hip hop routines, visit new places with friends. I joined Alpha Omega Epsilon to surround myself with other women in STEM majors so I could have a strong support system, which is vital to be successful in a male dominated field. I also joined because I want to inspire other women to follow their passion and prevent the discouragement that many women face in STEM majors and careers.

Amany Othman


Hey! My name is Amany Othman. I was born and raised in the Bay Area, specifically Redwood City. I chose to go to San Jose State University to stay close to home and of course because of their amazing engineering department. I am currently majoring in Civil Engineering and minoring in Architectural Studies. I choose to major in Civil Engineering because I want to be able to make a difference in my community and be able to see the work I put in be of use to others. It was also inspired by my love of seeing things be put together and designing something big. During my college career I want to grow within my major and be able to make connections with people to better my knowledge and experience in it. After my college career I would love to get employed at a company that has smaller projects and slowly move my way up to a bigger company to help me slowly get into the working force. I love to play basketball and paint on canvas in my free time. I have always loved drawing so it inspired me to try painting which I turned out to love. I decided to join Alpha Omega Epsilon because my major, like other engineering majors, is very male dominated. I wanted to be around other women in STEM and be able to have those girls who understand what I am going through. For us to be able to support one another and help each other throughout the struggle. As well as make lifetime friends.

Liliana Urena

​

Hello everyone! My name is Liliana Urena. I grew up in the small town of Napa, so moving to San Jose was a big change for me but I had my heart set on going to SJSU to major in Chemical Engineering. Since I grew up on a farm, I gained interest in someday working in the area of pesticides/pest control. I hope to one day work for a company that focuses on sustainability because I want to contribute to society in the most eco-friendly way possible. In my spare time I enjoy just being outside either on a walk or hike, and I also like to make jewelry as a form of stress relief. I actually had never considered joining a sorority, but I saw the active sisters tabling spring semester 0f 2020 and I was amazed to see that there was a sorority for STEM majors. I joined the Alpha Omega Epsilon Beta Upsilon Chapter because I wanted to be a part of a professional group where I could also shape really great friendships. I have gained a lot of support and motivation from the rest of the sisters in Alpha Omega Epsilon at SJSU, and I truly believe that each and every one of us will find success.

Hello, my name is Jennifer Yang. I was born and raised in the Bay Area. I am majoring in software engineering because I have a strong interest in technology and with software engineering, there are many flexibility to work in different industries and different fields. During college, I am learning and growing my knowledge to prepare myself for what comes next. After graduation, I plan to do volunteer work where I give back to the community. I also plan to travel to different parts of the world, where I can experience different cultures and lifestyles. I enjoy traveling and spontaneous adventures. I play badminton as a hobby and enjoy hiking. I decided to join Alpha Omega Epsilon because I wanted to meet other female students pursuing engineering degrees and become friends with wonderful ladies who are academic driven and fun  to hangout with.
