President

Marissa profetto

( she/her )

Hi there! I’m Marissa, a 4th year Electrical Engineering student and this year’s President of WIE! I first joined WIE as an Ambassador, where I was immediately drawn to the welcoming environment and the incredible mission of the society. I decided to become more involved, so went on to fill larger roles like VP Webmaster and VP Senior. Now being in my 4th year of my undergrad and of WIE, I am prepared to do all that I could to support my amazing new team in bringing our visions to life!

I’m so excited to continue our legacy with a combination of old traditions and new initiatives, and hope to cultivate the same sense of community this year as WIE has had in the past.

Please reach out if you have any questions about our wonderful community and/or how to get involved! :)
